Girls, Why do some girls get angry when a guy doesn't want to stay friends after she rejects him?

Disclaimer: I notice this doesn't apply to ALL girls, hence the "some" in the question title.

I do think it is possible for guys and girls to be friends. Hell, around 70% of my friends are girls. However, I develop crushes on some (≅ 10%) of my female friends. When I build up the nerve to ask a female friend out, I nearly always get "I only see you as a friend." To be clear, I RESPECT THIS ANSWER. I know that I'm not entitled to girls, and that she has every right to reject me. That's not the problem; the problem is that girls will usually get mad when I don't want to remain friends after that.

Romantic feelings don't just go away because the girl isn't interested. Those feelings take weeks or months to die out. If I hang out with a girl I have romantic feelings for, knowing that it'll just remain as a friendship, I feel a great deal of inner-turmoil. Perhaps I am just not mature enough to deal with these feelings properly.

How come so many girls get pissed when I tell them this? Nobody is entitled to my friendship, nor am I to anyone else's. I feel like breaking off a friendship with a girl who rejected me is the best thing for both of us. I seriously want to understand why some girls feel like they are somehow entitled to a guy's friendship.

I've never been in such a situation so most of what I mention will be speculation, apologies.
but maybe because she expected your relationship to 'continue as normal'? she never had such feelings or at least never felt them and still expects your friendship, because you were friends, and you backing away from it after rejection feels like a betrayal of sorts. hm...😟😕, I had one other suggestion but it seems to have escaped me.
