I think it's less a case of people refusing to concede that there are "violent bad actors on the extreme left", and more a case of "not every person who is opposed to far-right kooks is a violent bad actor on the extreme left'."
Right-wing activists use "Antifa" as a catch-all scapegoat so frequently that the accusation has lost all credibility. Whining about Antifa has become a shibboleth to identify right-wingers.
