What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

Am I the only anti-Venat person who likes G'raha? D:

Oh, G'raha is fine. I don't mind him, but I wouldn't consider him one of my favorites, is all. But we are also definitely in the minority when it comes to Venat - in those 2ch polls where G'raha did well, Venat was also #3 and #2, in sequence. Alas. At least the best of best friends, Zenos, moved up several places between the two polls!

As far as the WoL goes, I actually generally really love the feeling of collaboration between the game's writing and my input to create a personal character for myself. I like the capacity for my WoL to surprise me in how they react, and feel like they have some degree of agency that gets my imagination running. Of course, I totally understand dissonance - I rolled my eyes at my WoL playing nice with Merlwyb all the way back from ARR, and I probably don't need to elaborate further on Venat. I also didn't like Hien or Gaius, two other people that the WoL liked or learned to get along with. Venat, though, is the only one that was sort of a game-breaker, of sorts, to me - the rest weren't a huge deal, or I could otherwise rationalize it. I don't feel the need to be on the exact same page with my opinions on events or characters as my WoL, necessarily, most of the time.
