Because it offends gen z. They get it from millennial parents and associate it with them.
I'm not sure. I obviously can't speak for all of Gen Z, but I use emoticons all the time in 1:1 chat with my friends. I just don't use them in "public" because most people are put off by seeing :3, and the warm, fuzzy feeling that it conveys doesn't come up that often anyway
