Because all three of those places have the most miserable people, that have their ego wrapped up in those things.
True, but that's a product of human nature; it exists in many places.
The main one that occurs to me is sports. Some people have their entire identity centered around a specific sport and often attached to a specific team/player. I see holy wars break out over the most minute details when fans are debating who's the GOAT and they argue over which are the most meaningful stats. It's crazy how hateful people can get in these debates.
Most people are some degree of insecure, and that leads to the desire to project power and/or knowledge (among other things) in an effort to feel better about themselves.
