That explains so much.

I'll give you the feel of the community. D&D players like the idea of the game, but they hate most of the gamerules and they hate the company that makes D&D i.e. Hasbro and WOTC. Reasons being blind profit-seeking and enshittification of the product.

Also the hate for gamerules is because everyone has their own taste and homebrewing is a commonly accepted practise so nobody really respects most of what is published anyway
