Because it's clear that he did 10 percentage points worse in the election than he otherwise would've by running for the extra term after the amendment passed. There was a meaningful number of people that voted against MAS for that reason alone. He could've easily played a role in any future administration. He put the entire socialist movement in Bolivia at risk by running for that extra term.
It isn't about the legitimacy of the referendum or term limits at large. It's that it was clearly unpopular among some of his parties own supporters that he was seeking an extra term.
Isn't taking Arces results after a coup as how he would have performed before having his voter base was massacred wrong? I don't know why MAS decided to have Evo run again, but I'm sure they had reasons that made sense to the party.
