It's pretty yikes to paint everyone not satisfied with the quality of the narrative as just people whining that they didn't get "their lore". Is it so wrong to have wanted something of better quality, some aspects of which could've been achieved with just a small amount of attention and adjustments? People pretend that we want to change what we got instead of considering the fact that we are questioning why it wasn't done before it was set in stone, when they could've gone in any direction, and why it wasn't more tightly written at an earlier stage. Clearly the people writing the lore themselves should've had some hint of the obvious criticisms that are being brought up.

"But muh development, muh corporate resources, muh cutting content for reasons."

All cool, valid. But irrelevant to the discussion of narrative, and not an excuse.

It is not a completely subjective issue. Though it's not completely objective either, there is enough of a writing standard reasonable enjoyers of narrative understand that we can go to in order to come to a conclusion about a story.

Example : Lord of the Rings trilogy was better than the Hobbit trilogy

"But I loved the Hobbits Trilogy!"

Ok, cool. That adds literally nothing to the discussion.
