I really don't know how the whole smogon hates offense meme exists when the smogon hates defense also exists. It's almost like you just see what they ban that you like and immediately assume they're out to get you

That's the exact reason.

There is a slight trend towards defense and stall, though for justifiable reasons.
It is easy to see when an offensive threat is overpowered. If something is killing half of a team with no setup, odds are good it needs to be kicked upstairs. If, on the other hand, something can stall out three pokemon, it is a bit harder to suggest the defensive Pokemon is at fault, since it could just be that the other guy didn't have the right kind of offense.
OP offense is blatant, OP defense is subtle.

Parasect still dies to Ember.
Less games are decided or changed by luck, but stall creeps in to ruin the games
