The reasons given on the surface may vary, but most of them boil down to that. The majority of my answer lists particular reasons cited in this particular case, but, realistically, protests would have happened and at least 2 of those 3 reasons would have been cited by the protesters regardless of who Trump nominated.

Originalists believe that the Constitution and laws should be interpreted according to the original intent of those who wrote and ratified or passed them." According to Wikipedia, she's a textualist, which is a bit different from an originalist, as you describe it. For instance, it has been argued that the people who ratified the 13th Amendment did not intend for it to bar conscription, but a true textualist would have to agree that it does. But it seems that "textualists" often are such only when it suits them.

There will always be people protesting political appointments - in each case, the reasons will be different, and the question was why are they protesting Coney Barrett's nomination
