They don't want to admit that they (and people in general for that matter) are not in control.
An ugly incel will still be ugly and romantically/sexually unsuccessful even if he exercises, dresses well, eats healthy, has a good personality, treats women respectifully, tries hard, etc, while good-looking Chad will still be good-looking and romantically/sexually successful even if he doesn't do any of that.
Likewise, someone who rejects Christ and the sacrifice He made for their sins will still get lost even if they have good works, do tons of charity, lives prude celibate life in a monastery, strives as hard as possible to avoid sin, practices extreme asceticism, etc, just like someone who accepts Christ and the sacrifice He made for their sins will still be saved no matter how much they sin or lack good works.
People just HAVE to believe that people merit stuff. If someone is very successful with women, it has to be because they're "worthy" of it, because they put effort into it, because they had nice personalities and treated women well, etc. Then you show them example after example of Chad still slaying even as a violent criminal, even treating women like shit, even having a terrible personality, even putting 0 effort, and people just won't accept it.
If someone gets saved, it has to be because they merited it through good works and avoiding sin. They you show people in the bible dozens of passages that repeat that salvation is only by grace through faith and not by works or trying not to sin and people just won't accept it.
In reality, NO ONE DESERVES TO BE SAVED. Being saved is a favor, a gift we didn't deserve but God still gives to us because He loves us. Just like no one deserved to be good-looking, they were just lucky enough to be born this way. God has His plans and His reasons why He allowed things to be this way, our job is to trust Him and accept it.
People are insanely anthropocentric. They prefer to stay in the bluepill even though it's a blatant lie, just as they prefer to be atheistic ("everything came from nothing and then "evolved" into these INSANE levels of complexity and orderliness through billions of years of pure randomness! You gotta believe this or else you're deluded!") or in false anthropocentric religions that say salvation (or good karma for the next life or whatever) comes from YOUR own merits, even though these are lies as well.
