There is no genre of fiction that is inherently and/or objectively good or bad; a story in any genre has the possibility of being a good work of fiction. Genres tend to end up associated with a slew of specific tropes, in my experience, meaning one is more likely to end up with certain story or type of story, but that's not necessarily the genre's fault.

Granted, the majority of what's available in epic fantasy isn't good, but the vast majority of what's available overall isn't good.

Actually-existing epic fantasy has serious and deeply-rooted problems from a literary point of view in a way that's not true for every genre - admittedly, largely because its target demographic is fundamentally not very interested in literary quality, but that doesn't make it untrue.

Okay, but you can't just say that and then not give an explanation with more details. Clarify, pls

Really? Every genre has bad examples and good examples. Fantasy isn't somehow worse than any other genre.
