...why do you think anybody who ships something cares whether other people think it's problematic?

A ship generally finds and grabs a person. If some critic thinks there's something "wrong" with it...I...don't...care.

There are ships that gross me out, but I keep my mouth shut, because whining about some "problematic" ship adds zero value to fandom.

I think what OP is saying is that people who claim to dislike a ship purely for it being 'problematic' are just using that as a shield for their real reasons - they may claim to dislike Bella/Edward because he's like 200 years her senior, but its actually that they ship Bella/Jacob. Something like that.
I don't think OP is saying that everyone who (to continue the example) ships Bella/Edward or Bella/Jacob or Bella/Jacob/Edward cares at all about it being problematic.

[Personally I agree about finding some parings icky and just not going near them because I have better things to do with my time]

...why do you think anybody who ships something cares whether other people think it's problematic?

Because some people have low self-esteem about everything, including what they ship, and if someone says "Your ship is problematic" and backs it up with fancy, intelligent-sounding language, they can convince the shipper that their preferences are wrong and guilt them out of shipping it.

I find this annoying, and it actively hurts fandom if people are dissuaded from creating fanworks and being a part of a community because of this sort of judgment.

I get that you don't care but... there are people who care. Or they start to care when the harassment sets in. And again, it's good that you don't get on people's cases about problematic ships but... there are people who do that. Lots of people.
