I'd say it's more about the glib way he dances around being a social conservative by not really saying anything of substance besides his most basic concepts like "young men are lost" or "clean your room" or "hierarchies exist in nature". It gets pretty gross the way he doesn't even take responsibility for what he implies.

I don't really care for them either but they aren't fringe enough to black list

I mean if he was interviewing Richard Spencer with soft balls that's one thing

But slowly but surely pretty much everyone on the right is being deemed untouchable

They're doing it to people who identify center-left too. Look at how guys like Tim Pool are treated.

It's not.

However, in a stage controlled by a fawning talk show host where nothing is challenged, Peterson's presumptive approach to logic can seem reasonable to the impressionable. OH is right that it's not the job of people like Rogan to impart critical thinking on their audience, but they'd be a lot better at their jobs if they did.
