Gatekeeping is "bad" in the same way boundaries are seen as "bad"- they force people to think critically about their behaviour and it's effect on others. No one likes having to self-reflect, especially if the only conclusion they can draw is that they may be the bad guy.

And I disagree with FrostyNugs; I've seen plenty of people in the older generation throw a hissy fit when you set up boundaries.
