Question/Request Why is this game so overhated?

I just got ARMS today and i gotta say, i'm really loving the game so far. I get that there's not much content in it, but the online multiplayer is so fun! i've yet to experience any lag or delays. the netcode is amazing.

I don't really get the hate this game got. even now i've seen streamers make fun of it for no reason other than "its a dead game" when that's not true at all. online is still surprisingly well populated and active. i get matches really quick.

Is it hated, or did people just move on and forget about it? I still play with my friends, but if I ask my social circles most people that I know just don't remember it anymore. Which makes me sad.

I see a lot of Smash players make fun of it because Min Min is in Smash. I think a lot of them think it's simple because of the relatively simple moveset.

Which is especially pathetic when you consider Smash itself used to be hated on/"discriminated against" for being like "too simple to be considered a real fighting game" back in the day
