I might be talking out my arse here, but I reckon if she'd been more malliable and easier to cast as the 'poor downtrodden wife of the brutal nasty president' the libs woulda been nicer to her.
As it was, she didn't so they unveiled this kinda mysogyny and hatred. Don't get me wrong I really don't like the woman but I'm not about to call her a whore as a sexist insult to own the republicans.
Its a bit like the Lol Trump is gay for Putin stuff. Their commitment to equality and not being a dick is completely superficial performative bollocks.

This is one of those things that really bugged me when I was still a lib—other liberals insisted on framing Melania as either slut or a damsel, when the truth is she's just an asshole

They totally did that anyway; there was a big lib meme that tried to cast Melania as some kind of hostage or something.

Yeah I figured they'd have given it a shot at somepoint or another.
