It’s not hated because he hates sand. It is because its romance dialogue and the Padme/Anakin relationship is creepy and unbelievable for people.
Perhaps Anakin’s awkwardness being a celibate monk is deliberate, it’s not like he is smooth with the ladies. He isn’t Han Solo.
He lives in a commune of other monks. Where attachment is forbidden. Growing up isolated away from the societal norms of growing up in a family and a regular citizen of the republic.
He had a mother, no father. Orphaned as a teenager. He has the bad father in Palpatine as his adviser and the good father in Obi-Wan, who does make mistakes and overlook things Anakin does.
