A lot of it is because this fan base has become spoiled (in fairness, for good reason) and has no patience with anyone who isn't performing at a very high level. Some of that is a function of placing an ordinately high value on a three-peat; most of it is just forgetting that teams aren't perfect and we've been ungodly fortunate over the past several years.
As DJ said, we can trade 2 1's, a 2, and a 3 and get up to 5 and get someone like Alt. But we may also end up with someone like Becton who is drafted high and never pans out, either for talent or injury reasons. And that's a big swing and miss that can absolutely set the team back if other picks also don't hit.
