Lady, your biggest (and only real) claim to fame was a movie directed by James Cameron, and most of the audience for that film (girls and women of all ages) was only there for Leonardo DiCaprio. You were just along for the ride. In fact, I have reason to believe that most of the movies you played in were created and led by men, so not only do you owe a lot to the male sex, but you needed their help to get anywhere.
“The men who think you want and need their help are unbelievably outraging,” she told the publication. “I’ve even had a director say to me: ‘Listen, you do my film and I’ll get your little Lee funded…’ Little! Or we’d have potential male investors saying things like: Tell me, why am I supposed to like this woman?”
So you went into this with an entitled attitude, believing other people should risk their money for your personal project just because you're Kate Winslet, failed to convince anyone to do that, was left shocked that you're not nearly as big a name as you think you are, and are now going into full sour grapes mode.
Winslet also addressed the social pressures on body image and ageism that continues to plague Hollywood. She said that she was “consistently told I was the wrong shape” and “would have to settle for less.”
Ah, yes, proving you were always a talentless hack who got by entirely on sex appeal...
Winslet, who had been unable to exercise due to a back injury, said “I had to be really fucking brave about letting my body be its softest version of itself and not hiding from that.”
...And you're bitter that you can't rely on it to get the big bucks now because you're flabby, out of shape, almost 50, and nobody wants to see you naked anymore (let alone accept sexual favors from you).

I’m betting they meant that less in the “sell me on this person” sense and more in the “this lady is insufferable” one.

I think I know how it happened.
I had to go look her up. Saw a photo. Still didn't recognize her. No one cares who this person is.
Although this is interesting because if they were investors they wouldn't be worried about liking her. Seems like this business works differently.
