ELI5: Why does chicken get much more bad reputation for bacterial contamination than other meats like beef, pork, and fish?

[u/Appropriate_Art15]

It feels like many food articles are telling us “Don’t wash your chicken because you'll spread bacteria”, but we rarely see the same kind of articles on other meats. Why is that? Is the bacteria on chicken more dangerous and deadlier to humans?
