It's you who doesn't understand the concept of proposition and reception at a fundamental level. It's not about what the story tells you or wants you to feel, it's about player experience. You can tell players to think a certain way all you want, if they are not convinced the reception isn't gonna be good. If you enjoyed it, good for you, but making ignorant and arrogant comments about people just not understanding the story isn't the strong argument you think it is, in fact it highlights a problem contrary to your own belief.
