I remember watching a draft match for a professional, sponsored team in a moba.
One player taunted during the preface, and after a few kills.

After the match was done, he got chewed out by one of the scouts.

The basic reasoning was because not only was it needlessly disrespectful, but it wasted time and in the case of the pregame needlessly revealed positions.

So for anybody wondering why taunting and the like are seen as a big deal, think about the context as less like an after-work/school activity to blow off steam, and more of a professional sport.

Professional sports you say

NFL Rulebook, Section 3, Article 1

 

There shall be no unsportsmanlike conduct. This applies to any act which is contrary to the generally understood principles of sportsmanship. Such acts specifically include, among others:

 

C: The use of baiting or taunting acts or words that engender ill will between teams.

D: Individual players involved in prolonged or excessive celebrations. Players are prohibited from engaging in any celebrations while on the ground. A celebration shall be deemed excessive or prolonged if a player continues to celebrate after a warning from an official.

I've seen such things penalized regularly, especially taunting between downs. Penalizing touchdown celebrations happens a lot less, but it does happen. Anyway, taunting after a kill would be more like taunting between downs, and an endzone celebration would be better equated to a post-match celebration.
