I think people's problem with it is not that Anya does, but how dismissively Xander spoke about it. How dismissively we learned about it, really. And possibly also that it happened offscreen to begin with.

It happened on screen. Xander looks for her as they are leaving but he can't find her among the dead.

'Later, Andrew comforted Xander by telling him that Anya died saving his life, to which Xander replied: "That's my girl. Always doing the stupid thing."'

That's not her death happening on screen. That's her death being all about Xander. As a character, she deserved better.

....but it literally happens on screen. You see her get sliced in half on screen. Xander was nowhere near at that point.

Okay, my apologies. I guess I didn't remember that. I got confused by the idea of Xander looking for her.

I just know that the way it was treated afterward has never set right with me and apparently, I'm not alone.

People’s problem with Anya’s death was absolutely that she died. And it was only a small bit of the fandom who felt that way. It was later that people who didn’t see the original run created some faux outrage and made weird claims like it happened off screen and was all about Xander. Thr things you’re saying are common sentiments in the fandom for the last ~10 years despite the fact that they aren’t even remotely true.
