Why do people seem to “gate keep” hazel eyes?

What I mean is people are so hesitant to say you have hazel eyes. Even if they see green inside of brown eyes. It’s like they think there needs to be a certain percentage or something to be valid. Also, with the different shades of green, looking similar to light shades of brown I find people are very reticent to say someone has Hazel.
