it's really not as simple as it seems - you try lecturing to hundreds of bored uni students staring! it might be a little irrational to fear the microphone, but it's also a totally human response that happens when nervous; no need to hate anyone for being a bit shy or anxious.

Sometimes it's anxiety; most of the time it's convenience: they don't want to be bothered with speaking into a mic and would rather be able to gesture, move around, etc. without worrying about head position/facing. Practice using the mic. It's part of the job.

It does take a little practice to figure out. A lot of people hold the mic either too far away or too close up. Have a TA stand at the back and give you feedback while you play around and you'll get it pretty quickly. It's worth it. It will make YOUR job easier & be accessible
