Probably because smartphones are ubiquitous and "everyone has one".
Nothing like being asked, by multiple different people, if you're playing a game that wasn't designed for anything you actually own.

When Black and White came out and I didn't have a DS, I was fine with not being able to play them.
I read up on the new Pokémon, people I talked to online carried on as normal, 90% of conversations didn't suddenly revolve around the latest Pokémon game.
The default assumption for "owns a device that plays this game" was "no".

But Go when you don't have a smartphone that supports one (or a smartphone at all)?
Suddenly everyone's talking about this game that you have no way to play, and assuming that you have a way to play it unless you specify otherwise, and it's frustrating.
And, honestly, I'm fucking sick of it. I'm bitter, I'm frustrated, I wish people would shut up about it already. (I wish I could go back to apathy about it.)

The default assumption for "owns a device that plays this game" is now "yes", and that's what makes this different from any other Pokémon game. If only people would realise that not everyone even has a smartphone, some of them by choice. *sigh*

Also the whining would bother me too. Talking about not being able to play it is still talking about it.
