What beef did they have with polygamy?

Jeebus

Generally speaking it's also not wise to have polygamy (as opposed to polyamory) in cultures without a lot of young males dying. Tends to lead to a bunch of horny and angry incels.

The Mormons had it strictly because Mormonism is a cult that was designed for Joseph Smith to get child "brides."
