Jared's very emotional and has no emotional regulation and frankly I think that that quite often makes him a complete asshole (I'm not trying to diminish his mental health issues, but he always struck me as the type of person who is wildly hypocritical about who deserves empathy for them, i.e. him and no one else, and I think his mental health campaigns are mixture of sincere gratitude for the people who helped him and ready excuse for his inability to make progress). I think that that also makes him a person who is very popular and compelling when he's not an asshole. Jensen on the other hand is the type that is mostly professional, and frankly way more thoughtful about his career and persona, except where he can follow the leader (i.e. Misha or Jared). In other words, I can very much see how they drifted apart after the show (and when Jared remained messy and shitty in public non-acting contexts), but I think it's fairly insulting to both Jensen and Jared to pretend that Jensen and Jared's reputation on set weren't mutual endeavors. I do think Jensen would have stayed on SPN longer than Jared, and I do think that ties into this conflict.

All that said, I don't think you can create a show that gleefully plays into its fanbase and their love for either one of the main two characters and that character's actor, or occasionally both characters and actors and think that such a prequel would be fairly well-regarded by the whole fanbase, especially when it's not couched as a collective effort, or at least a supportive effort, by both faces of the show and not get a shitstorm. This was highly foreseeable, and likely very easy to get Jared's buy-in in a simple retweet form, and I think less of everyone involved from a professional context.
