I don't get why everyone assumes that Havana syndrome is fake. I mean it could be fake but it doesn't seem implausible that it is real either. I seems like everyone jumps to the conclusion it isn't real though.

That said, it's hardly everyone who thinks Havana syndrome is fake. The CNN article treats it like it's real, said article got enough votes to end up on HN's front page, and many other discussions about Havana syndrome that have taken place here have been heavily in favor of it being real.
It's covered in Russian Patent No. 2,526,478 "Method and Device of Microwave Electromagnetic Impact at Trespasser"
"The technical result is achieved by the fact that it is proposed to use directional radiation modulated by amplitude of the microwave electromagnetic waves. The impact on the intruder is due to the occurrence of painful mechanical thermoelastic phenomena in individual elements of the human auditory apparatus at their resonant frequencies"
