Fear of betrayal:
Trust is a big part of any friendship. If a guy feels that his friend went behind his back to date his sister, it can feel like a betrayal. This could lead to anger, as he might believe that both his friend and sister kept secrets from him.
Sometimes it's just overprotectiveness
Some brothers have a hard time seeing their sisters as grown people who are capable of making their own choices. They may be overprotective and find it difficult to accept that their sister is growing up and capable of having her own relationships and choosing whoever she wants to be with.

They know who their friends are
A guy knows his friends better than most and is likely aware of their bad habits, flaws, and past mistakes. Knowing these things can make it difficult to feel comfortable with the idea of his friend dating his sister, especially if he feels his friend isn't mature or responsible enough.
Though these feelings are understandable, it's always wise to approach the situation with maturity. Talking to your friend, setting boundaries, and trusting both your friend's and sister’s judgment can help ease these concerns.
After all, relationships built on respect, trust, and understanding are more likely to succeed, regardless of who is involved.
