Some of it definitely comes from baseless macho shit of "My drink stronger/Taste more different"
Fireball and other "cheap" liquor and drinks tend to be "tied to an age" due to price vs experience from the drink. Fireball is low quality whisky, and extremely cheap by comparison to other whiskeys, so it's associated with broke college kids who just want to be drunk, not enjoy their drink. Similar to how people will go "A fuckin 4Loko? Are you a junior in college?". They're ultra cheap, taste like battery acid, and are really just there to be very high ABV.
TL;DR cheap "shitty" (Be it actually shitty or pecieved to be on average) alcohol is what underage and desperate people buy to get shredded, people don't like that association sometimes
