Mostly it's two things that bother them.

First, that Biden repeatedly, himself and through spokesfolk, before and after the election, insisted that he'd respect the jury's verdict and would neither pardon nor commute. It was a point of principle, something that separated him from Trump and his ilk. Fast forward, and it's a point of principle to pardon.

Second, the pardon was unusually sweeping in scope and time, far more so that DJT's were.

And a third, lesser cohort, that this forestalls any investigation into the easiest way, they think, to unmasking "Biden family" crimes or breaches of ethics by the DOJ.
