Hate on not having your own horse

So i have seen lots of people who own a horse hate on people who dont own a horse but still ride and have similair experiences as someone with an own horse. I dont understand why some people think owning a horse makes you superior to people who dont have the money or time to own one. Like I understand one random lesson pony wont be a hearthorse or something, but dont hate on it. Also not everyone who doesnt own a horse rides lesson horses, they also can ride the horses that other people own.
I have seen so many equestrians just hating others for not owning a horse and that it doesnt make them an equestrian. For example I ride as good or sometimes even better then people who own a horse, even though I havent owned a horse yet.
