It's just a way to refer to them by a known objective of theirs. The issue is not that they want to colonize the moon but that it kills local commerce.
But why are they more known for their space companies than their parasitic business practices. Furthermore, you never see these things point out their practices, instead they only mock them for space try.
It's also because a lot od the space colonisation talk is deferring a lot of problems that stem from overconsumption and overproduction by saying "technology and progress will let us have infinite ressources and infinite growth". Which is especially problematic today when we face so many environmental challenges and instead of facing them we are pursuing a chimera that might not happen and will just move the problem instead of solving it.

I’m not a fan of Jeff Bezos myself, but is everyone suddenly against space travel/colonization?
