Alright, there's actually a lot to unpack here. Mostly, I agree with you. But they do have a point.
I just started getting into Fallout when NV came out. I was playing 3 when it seemed like everyone declared that NV was the best thing ever, and anyone who enjoyed 3 was shit. It was obnoxious as hell, I didn't even want to play NV because they were so entitled about it.

The thing about sequels though, is that they continue from the last page, they don't create an entire new reality that steals the theme and jigsaws the rest together like a puzzle without a picture. NV actually played true to Fallout 1 & 2, they had a real rpg, that both honoured and created a genuinely great game from it's source. Something that 3 (mostly), 4 (entirely), 76, (TV and onward?) plainly refused to do.

I loved 3, and I haven't been able to get through NV once. Not because of its gameplay but because Bethesda gave Obsidian a practically impossible task, to create a game with limited funds, a short timespan, and to make sure it stood up. They set them up to fail, that is a fact, it's even part of why Obsidian doesn't exist anymore.
The game is immersive, but it's buggy as all fuck. Games used to crash a lot back then, but NV crashes AT LEAST 10x more than average. Fans of the game (my sister even) have gone out of their way to call this endearing. (They're wrong) It's not so much that the game sucks, as much as it's all but literally unplayable.

Thing about NV though, was that it was the black sheep of the series. Bethesda dropped Obsidian and they pretended it didn't happen. They fucked the fuck up with 4, (not an rpg) and I've never even pretended to be interested in 76. Fallout Shelter didn't even include it or its characters afaik.
I don't watch the series, but if they did suddenly include NV or its characters, then even I would have a problem with that, depending on the context.

The fans are beyond pretentious and absolutely need to get over themselves, but I wouldn't blame them for being annoyed if the show decided to dig up their canon after having it be decidedly buried for like an actual decade. Both on principle, and the fact that I wouldn't trust them to do any character right, let alone one from such a segregated piece of its shuddered past.
