Because both main characters were considered "useless" with "no talent" and were looked down upon by their peers while still striving very hard to achieve their goal. Bakugou is also somewhat like Sasuke as they excel, in contrast to Naruto and Deku, but they're jealous of the main character and envies his drive...etc.
