Hating the main cast on principle is a thing many teenagers/ yound adults do because it comes across as edgy, unique etc. to prefer side characters but most people grow out of it. So no, the main cast isn't doomed to be hated by everyone. Many people love the main cast of the MCU, Supernatural and other long series that have the same main characters around for years, if not decades.
Some people will dislike the main cast, sometimes for good reasons, sometimes for nothing but "I just don't, okay?" which is also fine because different strokes for different people but saying that people just generally hate the main cast is a poor attempt at deflecting thoughtful and reasonable critique of the main cast.
