Why do people complain about this so called Tunneling?

So, for the past month or so, I've been thoroughly enjoying Bubba. I've gotten many complaints over messages saying that I'm either 'camping' or 'tunneling' on account of going for the damaged survivor when they get off the hook. Also, telling me it's typical for a Bubba to do this sort of thing, having no surprise in the slightest. Am I missing something? To me, it makes sense, why would I not go for the only vulnerable survivor when they get off the hook? They're damaged.

Anytime I play survivor myself, the killer goes after me when I get off the hook many of times and it completely makes sense. Why wouldn't they go after me when I am damaged and vulnerable? I'm not bothered at all when they do this so called 'tunneling' because as I said, it makes sense. The killer can do whatever they need to get their kill. It's their job after all.

Another thing to point out, is that whenever I do this 'tunneling', I get complaints saying that it is not fun. If it is not fun, why is it an option in the videogame? If it's part of the videogame, you need to accept it for what it is. Complaining about it isn't going to change my mind nor other people who I've come across do it too, we will do it regardless. Survivors can do whatever they need to escape through the exit, and killers can do whatever they need to get their kills.

Stop complaining about it. It's a videogame, and we can do it as we please if you like it or not.

    You did everything right, you don't have to play "fair". I played the game 100% fair at the start and was basically always insulted because I was "bad" even if I handycapped myself because I wanted to be nice. So now I don't play with restrictions, I just use the chances I get, if the survivor gives me the chance to tunnel and camp him without losing preassure I will do it. Interessting enough are some people even nicer to me since I play that way.

    You can just ignore everyone saying that it's not fair or unfun, most survivors wouldn't let you win a chase for free or don't do a gen if they have the chance to, so you don't have to play like they want xD

    "Stop complaining about it. It's a videogame, and we can do it as we please if you like it or not. "

    Well, I suppose the title-question isn't actually a question. Which is fine, if somewhat deceptive. I get that it's kinda common practice. Everyone can have their opinion and you clearly have yours. - Personally, I wholeheartedly disagree. Even on the "it completely makes sense" part. And yes, I do wonder why it is an option in the game. Since just because it's intended design doesn't mean it's good design. If what the devs thought was all good then we wouldn't have had a single update since release.

    One last note though; I really do hope for the sake of the consistency of the bottom line you make that you never ever have or will complain about any strategy or move the survivors make as long as it's a design feature of the game. If the stance is "anything goes" then that is very much a two way street.
