On the one hand, if this BNF isn't even letting anyone edit their manuscript beyond a surface level, then I can understand OP feeling kind of judgmental. Because while it is 100% fine to go beta-free with fanfic and I don't judge anyone for choosing to do that, working with an editor is a pretty integral part of being a professional author.

OTOH, I do agree with your comment in general. There seems to be a certain hostility a lot of fans have to people who are attempting to get published. You can really tell that a lot of people want the aspiring authors in fandom to fail. There's this attitude of, "You should be mature enough to realize your aspirations are unrealistic, and I'm annoyed that you don't realize that," or something. It's an attitude that always leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I wanted to be an author as a teen, but realized in my twenties that I was not remotely cut out for it. However, I still think it's cool that other people pursue that dream, and it's none of my business whether they're cut out for it or not.
