Because secretly we want them to exist so that we have something to virtue signal about.
Really, that's all it is. Participants in a heroic drama never want it to end because they're drunk on passion. Fuck them all and set the dogs among them.
Oddly, some people seem to have an instinctual aversion to psychopaths. Given their destructive nature, you'd think it would be strongly selected for in Evolution and therefore found more widely distributed. I suppose in some cases the prospective psychopath sucker / fan _wishes_ he could do what the psychopath does, hence, charisma (another mystery).
Homosexuals may have some particular positive function as such (besides whatever else they may do). Psychopaths strike me as people with something definitely missing.
People believe in the theory of Evolution through natural selection because of its great explanatory power, the fact that it doesn't require any conditions beyond normal physics, its simplicity and logic, and the fact that no counterexample has thus far been found.
Some of the possible difficulties with the theory (which are marginal cases anyway) like homosexuality, may stem from the curious way people tend to categorize people and behaviors. For example, until fairly recently in history there were no homosexuals. There were sometimes people (and other animals) who engaged in sexual activities with members of the same sex, but it was not an organized institution the way it is today. Famous erotic poets like Sappho and Catullus admired and were attracted to both sexes, said so, and acted accordingly. It would probably be impossible to explain the Stonewall Riots to a person from the ancient world.
Psychopathy -- the depraved indifference to the feelings, welfare and interests of others -- is not something I have figured out yet. It is usually very dangerous for those who suffer from it since they are likely to be killed or driven away by their peers. It may be that Evolution will take care of it in the near future since there seem to be many who have signed up for it.
Stinky is an adherent of Graeber church. There are many such schools and their followers are a fervent bunch. Try talking to some Jungian or Freudian.
Or a "Christian" for that matter. I used quotes as only followers of infinite protestant and derivative sects would behave that way, the proselytizing scum that they are. No true Catholic or Orthodox should behave in such manner or even identify oneself as a believer.

"Because secretly we want them to exist..." - for sure there's a segment like that. Far from all, though.
