Why do people hate being asked to do something in game?

I’ve noticed this so much lately that you’ll ask someone to shift walk, or enter a site from a different entrance, or to watch a certain angle and they’ll just ignore it and it usually ends up with one or both of you dying. I completely understand people ignoring people backseat playing or telling them when/how to use their util. But today in a comp match in a gold lobby at 10-10 I asked a Jett to go in a separate entrance to so we’d be able to cross fire site. They ignored me, but whatever ok maybe they thought us two sticking together would be better, fair enough. Then they refused to shift walk and anytime we went around a corner they’d make me go first and I got killed my someone holding an angle that they would’ve seen if they went the other entrance like I asked, then they follow me a second later and get killed by the same person. Other instances it’s not as serious like they’re running with their knife out and you know enemies can hear y’all or you ask them to watch a different angle but they watch your same angle and you both get killed. Usually if I ask someone to do something and they ignore it I just do it myself, but I just don’t get why some people refuse to listen. Sometimes I think it’s because I’m a woman but a lot of times other teammates are asking them to do the same thing and they still refuse to do it. I don’t know I could be totally wrong here I’m just looking for some insight and to see if there’s anything I could do to help. It’s just really frustrating at a certain point.
