I think this is partly because people (across the board, this isn't just a social justice thing) take adversity as granting moral authority. Admitting your privilege feels like giving up moral authority. Admitting someone's oppression feels like granting them moral authority.

This is pretty much the shortfall of political nihilist critical race theory in a nutshell. They outright reject contingency and the ability for certain actors to do both good and bad things based on their conditions.

You might not like it, but there is already a word for this - it is intersectionality.

IMO issue w/ most protests is that they're they're generic 'victim' cries w/o specific oppressions to fix. Joining the union of voices requires ignoring your privileges. Kind interpretation: doctor's should diagnose pain. Unkind: adults shouldn't cry like babies.
