Probably because there are quite a few who believe the Hugos have been gamed since long before the puppies and are still being gamed despite them. The belief or disbelief in that position hinges on the person's political viewpoint so most discussions on the matter end up in P&W territory.
One might as well start it there, I suppose.
Personally, I would suggest ignoring the debate.
We no longer live in an SF world where Hugos are particularly important to the majority of readers or even authors. In fact, most traditional SF awards are now inherently suspect when it comes to their purported subject. The field is too big and too prolific to meaningfully annoint anything the best.
