Shows that are designed from the beginning to have major over-arching plots without standalone episodes, where the writers figure things out ahead of time and things make sense and have eventual endings and emotional payoffs, are a different animal that the X-Files was. The X-Files didn't really start out like that, and in continuing the mythology over the years, things kind of got muddled and complicated, which is why a lot of people remember stand-alone episodes being the ones they liked best.

Most X-Files fans I know generally prefer the monster-of-the-week episodes (although they might name a few standout mytharc episodes), so I wonder if people complaining about not enough mytharc actually watched the show that much when it was first on, or are just assuming that the fact that it had a mythology means it's like Stranger Things or Game of Thrones rather than being more episodic.
