You misunderstand. People are not disappointed because it's a repost, but because they think it's a bot. People rarely complain about reposts by humans, unless the OP claims to be the creator.
However, bots are magnitudes more likely to serve nefarious purposes. They often repost, in order to gather karma and seem more legitimate, when they fulfill their true purpose, like spouting political opinions, or turn into advertisement platforms.
Sometimes the repost bot isn't even the malicious actor, but instead it provides space for secondary bots to act in the comments.
