I don't think most people would say that UAPs shouldn't be investigated. Look how much people freaked out over the Chinese spy balloon incident. The dismissal comes when people start to make baseless insinuations about extra terrestrial origin.
And FWIW, we absolutely do investigate UAPs (and by "we" I mean the government), again, it's just in the context of "is this a foreign spy platform" not "is this a flying saucer".
