I think it's because they want us to offend so they can justify their hatred (and it looks better on them). If you admit you're ethical they freak out because you don't fit their narrative and worldview. It gives them one less person to hate so they try to manipulate and gaslight NOMAPs into offending (or at least sounding like it) so they can keep perpetuating their venom spewing (no offense to the cobras).

They cannot stand that a NOMAP is not what they think they are.

NOMAPs don't fit neatly into the convenient ideological box of 'predator' that MAPs who have a conviction or on the down-low YF do, so they get angrier trying to find the "right box" to shoehorn your into.
There's a political version of this that gets done as well, if you've ever seen Innuendo Studios' Alt Right playbook, you'll recognize it as part of the tactic of never playing defense. "Why ask what you believe when they can tell you what you believe and make you correct them, and if you ever don't go to the trouble of correcting them, 'must be because they're right'?"
