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

[CrownySuccubus]

Think the argument of fair goes out the window when she refused to be fair and tell her people what was going on but to each their own. I simply point out the hypocrisy of her actions and the heavy bias that revolves around her.

Well one of the biggest issues is the time loop, and how they made use of it, which ties directly to Elpis and her decisions. It's difficult to ignore her role in events when she's central to them, but at the same time, you have other issues, like how dynamis and Meteion were introduced, which felt rushed.

Exactly this. Dislike for Venat's choice to not tell anyone can be more productively focused on the awful Time Loop. Venat chooses not to tell people because she knows Fandaniel will be instrumental in developing the plan to summon Zodiark. She chooses to sunder the world because she knows the people of the future (namely you) will be able to rise up and defeat Meteion, instead of trying to go back to their "perfect world" where they forget sorrow or sadness or whatever.

The entire Elpis storyline falls apart because you can see the iron hand of the writers forcing it to fit into the Time Loop.

Enough to beat that dead horse for a couple hundred of pages. All the blood is out of this vein, go tap another one.

I mean, criticism of the story is the entire point of this topic.

If that feels like a dead horse to you, you can always go to the many, many other topics either here or on reddit that praise it. There is no reason for you to be here and torture yourself just because other people dare to discuss a different opinion.
