Because it trivializes a disorder in the same way that preferring to organizing things being called OCD trivializes the impact that OCD has on people.

Yes, the techniques help more than just the people with the disorder but that doesn't mean everyone has a 'little bit of the disorder'. Washing hands after using the restroom doesn't mean someone 'has a little OCD' either.
