The only valid reason that I can think of is that it kinda became a modern gravy train. Publishers ran that shit into the ground by tring to jump on the bandwagon with progressively shittier games that prioritized monetizing the experience with little effort put into actual gameplay or content. In that regard, yeah, fuck those games.
But whenever I see people talk about them, it's like an universal hatred for every game in that "genre", even though there are some that are actually good and provide highly addictive gameplay with regular content updates and active communities. I actually don't mind those types of games if done right. I can grind for hours if it's fun to play and it doesn't try to vacuum cash out of my ass wallet, nahmean?
Warframe is probably the most frequently mentioned example of how to do a game like this correctly but there are plenty of others that I've sunk a ridiculous amount of hours into over the years so it's not all bad.
