The fact that all lives matter goes without saying – literally, it doesn’t need to be said.

Neither does "black lives matter", to the vast majority of people. It makes perfect sense for the typical person hearing that phrase for the first time to react with confusion. If you explicitly say "black lives matter" to someone, you are, whether you realize it or not, implying to that person that they are racist enough that they don't believe the lives of black people have value.

If I made a point of telling you "you know, the earth is round", that implies that I believe that you don't already believe that (otherwise, why would I be saying it to you?). So a response fueled by confusion/indignance from you would make perfect sense.
