You won't find so many difference in mentality between these two categories.

Anyway, the first and foremost reason of driving people away from "good Sufi Shaykhs" is the huge quantity and deviancy of fake deviant bid'ati shirki "sufis" around: they drive people away from "real Sufis" more than all Salafis put together.

I have found another reason that keep people away from the lovers of Allah. And this is called jealousy !! This is explained here.

"And if along the way in search of a Murshid, jealousy should
come between you and your aim and jealousy begins to squeeze
your throat, then remember that in the field of jealousy Iblees
has made more progress than you.”

It is possible that Maulana Rumi (Rahmatullah Alaihe) might
have mentioned this thought in the gatherings of his Mureeds.
Hence, there was the danger that someone from among them
might have felt jealous of the position of Maulana Husamuddin
(Rahmatullah Alaihe). This is so because generally jealousy is
the one thing that prevents people from going to the people of
knowledge and to the saintly ones. Hence, after this Maulana
Rumi (Rahmatullah Alaihe) turns towards a discussion on
jealousy.

"It was because of jealousy that Iblees could not stand in
respect before Hazrat Adam (Alaihis Salaam),
And it was through jealousy that he opposed righteousness.
It is because of jealousy that houses are destroyed and ruined
And through it a royal falcon inspite of its qualities becomes
an ordinary crow.

Become like the dust under the feet of the men of truth
And cast dust on the head of jealousy as we have done”
