Why the Muslims are so upset.

Islamists are upset but not because there aren't a lot of muslim Nobel winners.

Islamists are, like a lot of fascists, enemies of modernism. And science and all the things emblemized by the Nobels are the vanguard of modernism.

Islamists are focused on the unreality of establishing a medieval caliphate over all the world and that goal can't coexist with science, democracy, which in their reality contradict the Islamic vision.

Islamists are probably pleased there are so few muslim Nobel winners.

Lots of muslims are probably upset there are so few muslim Nobel winners but not for the reasons you are probably inferring. They are probably upset because their governments aren't providing the educational institutions that would allow them to educate possible Nobel prize winners.
