Because emotions and logic are different domain. People get annoyed when
others claim they belong to a camp they do not, even if that statement
doesn't affect them.

FWIW, I do not see your argument that Mormonism isn't AZ. Or, to remove
the double negative... They believe in the unity of the godhead in the same
sense as the unity of a family. And that the one who allegedly runs
our world is a fellow named Jesus who lived on Kolob (a star or planet,
according to their scriptures (Pearl of Great Price, Book of Abraham,
ch 3), lead an examplary life, and was Exalted into the godhood. How is
that not worse shituf than trinitarianism if not AZ outright?

They also believe that both the Father and Jesus have physical, albeit
eternal, bodies. Not sure where the 7 mitzvos stands on what, except
leshitas haRaavad (who would permit belief in corporeality for Jews).

Tir'u baTov!
