Idolatry.
Always felt like that to me, no man or woman either animal or human shall be worshipped.
Mary is not worshipped. She is revered...as the mother of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Just like Christ Himself would honor His mother. (Like the commandment tells us to do.)
For sure that is how it should be unfortunately not everyone has that knowledge you possess and so they continue to worship idols.
I will add that for some the understanding is that the idea of a human representing God is idol worship, the same goes for representing God as an animal.
