The issue is people wanting the game to suit exactly their tastes all the time, and throwing a hissy fit because the world doesn't revolve around them.
I think the issue people have with it is that the story has already been affected by this mindset of everything needs to be light hearted and full of fluff. I don’t think there would be nearly as big of an outrage if ShB and EW hadn’t been littered with this slice of life stuff, but it has. So just having one of the few remaining serious and lore intensive questlines be turned into another slice of life content is the breaking point for many people, myself included.
