When you think "rock star", what connotations do you get? People who have a problem with the term most likely get connotations of self important, drugged out, skirt chasers who won a popularity contest. Not someone with technical acumen.
With Ninjas there is at least some sense of skill involved. There is a willing to die for the cause connotation that is off putting.
Basically there are plenty of behaviors and attitudes associated with rock stars and Ninjas that hint at poor working conditions, and a focus on popularity over technical quality.
