I feel like to a degree this is due to Hollywood's reaction to the age of "angry video reviews" popularized by James Rolfe and his contemporaries/knockoffs.

Hollywood saw at conventions and online how fans reacted to and interacted with "plothole *ding!*" bitch-fests and thought, "We should listen to the fans," and now it's like an arms race to "do it right" by listening to the fans.

But I think if we take a step back, we're just feeding into people's bad faith takes on media. And studios/powers that be are so focused on "proving" how much they are listening to the fans that they aren't allowing creatives to prove that they can create great works.

Just like issues with diversity in media, it feels a lot more like like checking off a list rather than honoring an attempt at great art/storytelling.

People have also learned that they can gain social clout by being very critical and picking out the flaws in everything, so they do. As Majel Barrett Roddenberry put it, "The easiest way for inadequate talent to obtain notoriety is by being negative."
