Because it’s a list about safety, not about beliefs. Regardless of what “the country says”, you are not in any danger if you disagree. And outside of that issue, it’s a very welcoming country for LGBT folks (yes, including T, despite what the government may say).
Especially since it’s in the context of travel, so citizen rights are less relevant as they don’t apply to you anyway, and it’s much more relevant how you are going to be treated as a tourist, as you choose from the several LGBT friendly pubs down the road.
And that’s still hyper focusing on one issue, totally ignoring the list also concerns safety for women and people of color, which can bring you up on the list.
Unfortunately the current government was voted in under quite a different pretext to how they’re acting now. They were also the only other prominent option at the time.
That would sure be nice, unfortunately the UK has the common problem of being able to either vote for the bad option or the worse option, neither of which is what most people want, they only disagree about which one is the worse one.

The government of a country usually reflects, at least partially, what its voters/citizens think…
