As with most things like this.

The problem isn't people who don't like the MSQ, the problem is that a lot of people who didn't like it want to shove it in everyones face or are extremely hyperbolic about it.
It becomes hard to have a discussion or take it seriously when in 9 out of 10 cases people talk about it like it's the worst thing ever created.
It's the same with TLOU2 which you brought up there are very valid criticisms one can have about the game and so do I.
I didn't like it at all.
But TLOU2 wasn't a crime against humanity, and playing the game wasn't literaly torture.

Edit: This isn't even getting into people who boosted ( or skipped all dialogue ) and yet feel like they can talk about the MSQ.
