Free me from this flesh, brother

In DnD it's because most undead are damned and tortured souls enslaved by dark magic to the bidding of their twisted masters.
The skellingtons are looking at you, the real you, the core of your very existence with their soul eyeballs. And they hate you, because you are alive, and they aren't just dead, they're being tortured every moment of their existence.
But, hey, tell me more about your perfect medieval civilization built on raising zombie field hands.

- It's a very simple matter 2 and maybe mind 3 effect, for simple commands and routines. No ghosts involved!
  
  I'm not familiar with the modern rules. Can mages still go insane from levitating a Kleenex in front of normies?

You know how their jumble of bones pulls together when you get close? Their bones wanna do that with your bones, and the osteonetic attraction that pulls their bones together let's them know where your bones are, too.
- So all you would have to do to avoid this fate would be to pull out your own bones from your body, interesting...
  
  And that's how you get slimes
- Their bones are actually inert. Your bones just want to join their bones doing fuck all all day long. Their bones are doing your bones' bidding.

The same way they're able to take human shape and move instead of sitting in a pile...
Shit, some of them talk

It's wet in you. They have to rescue your skeleton from drowning.
- "Your bones are wet in you."
  Unpleasant. Mmh. No, no thank you.

How do they not just collapse into a pile of bones?
- One could argue, that joints are part of the skeleton.
  
  Cartilage isn't.
  But, as always, the real answer is "a wizard did it". Skeletons don't just hop up and animate themselves.

So the ultimate counter to skeletons are octopuses.
- Octopuses have beaks. Are beaks considered part of a skeleton?
  
  Afaik beaks are more like nails, hoofs and antlers in composition.
  
  Isn’t the proper plural term octopi?

Skelekenesis

Your skeleton is bragging so much about its cool meatsuit they want to destroy it.
- Nah your skeleton is held prisoner by your meatsuit. The other skeletons are just trying to liberate it.

A dungeon suddenly becomes the corridors of the Nostromo. No matter where you hide, the skeletons can sense your BONES!

Betrayel always comes from within.

I keep my skeleton in line by occasionally breaking bones. Gotta make sure it knows who's boss.

Are skeletons working against you? A necromancer dissertation

They can feel it in their bones
