What's up with people seeing an analogy and going "you can't equate those two things"? Analogies aren't equating things

Analogies are great since they talk about how things are the same, and just as terrible because they talk about things that are different.

But seriously it’s sometimes hard to slice out what level of similarity is implied. Obvious things are somewhat less obvious to others sometimes
