From an objective standpoint, Eureka has problems. A number of them. So people who dislike the content - myself included - have an easy basis upon which to make logical arguments for feelings, while also providing constructive improvements. For individuals on the other side of the coin, however, really all there is to say is that "I like the content despite X, Y, and Z."
It's absolutely fine to say that, of course, but it's a vastly more subjective position than those criticizing Eureka. So it can be quite tricky to inject peacefully into most of the threads floating around on the forums. At best, it comes off as sort of an anecdotal note that doesn't really sway a topic; at worst, it comes off as white knighting, usually because someone stated their opinion in a manner that implicitly denies all of the objective concerns people were highlighting previously.
TL; DR: I don't think there's any widespread effort to silence the voices of those who like Eureka. I do think, however, that threads aimed at constructive criticism or venting are the wrong places to post those opinions. It's not that a position of support is invalid; it's that there's very little objective basis on which to support Eureka, whilst there's a lot of objective problems
