Question about Marian Dogmas

Hey everyone I have been looking into some of the early reformers and found that many of them held to some of the Marian dogmas (to varying degrees). I am a Catholic and I was curious to know why there are so many Protestants that do not assent to Marian dogmas. I know some do such as high church denominations like anglicans.

Also I was wondering if any of you considered/practiced Marian devotions but later rejected it. Do you miss it at all? Why did you choose to reject them?

Here is a dogma/devotion list. Sorry if it’s not the most accurate I am really only knowledgeable on Catholic theology.

Martin Luther: Theotokos, Perpetual Virginity, Immaculate Conception (early career), Assumption (speculative), Marian Feasts

John Calvin: Theotokos, Perpetual Virginity (speculative)

Ulrich Zwingli: Theotokos, Perpetual Virginity, Assumption (speculative), Marian Feasts

Heinrich Bullinger: Theotokos, Perpetual Virginity, Assumption

Martin Bucer: Theotokos, Perpetual Virginity, Assumption

Philip Melanchthon: Theotokos, Perpetual Virginity, Marian Feasts

Thomas Cranmer: Theotokos, Perpetual Virginity, Marian Feasts

Hugh Latimer: Theotokos, Perpetual Virginity, Immaculate Conception

William Tyndale: Theotokos

Thomas Müntzer: Theotokos, Perpetual Virginity, had an affinity for the Magnificat

By the way I am not trying to debate just discuss.
