Thats just the way people are. If you think about it you would act the same. Especially now when you think you know what you are doing.

I don't know why people are suprised that people react this way.
This is a Massively Multiplayer Online game, though. By design, this game promotes group play, and said group play includes this "unsolicited" advice people can give one another to improve performance and make the overall experience smoother and more enjoyable. Take a sports team for instance: different players can offer other players advice on how to better handle their assigned positions on the team: how to better score goals, block opponents, or what have you. Group play promotes this sort of constructive criticism, and all team members should accept the advice gracefully. Very rarely have I seen people just outright say to others that they are terrible players, and/or refuse to offer advice to help the player better themselves. I know that's anecdotal, but it's what I've seen, and I've been playing this game for quite a while.

I'm a god-awful MNK. Sure, the job is level 60 and was level 60 way before the conclusion of Heavensward, but I definitely do not play the job as optimally as I know it can be played. If an individual were to offer me advice on how to better my MNK gameplay, provided the advice is offered in a respectful and constructive way, I would accept the advice with grace and appreciation. Now, if a person were to try and tell me how to play BRD (my main), I would probably be less inclined to accept the advice because I know this job inside and out, but I would not act with hostility towards them.

If players do not want to deal with constructive criticisms and would prefer a more "everyone mind your own business" sort of play, perhaps an MMO is not the right genre for them.
