I usually agree with the sentiment, but Elementary!Holmes is one character where it just bugs me a bit.

Possibly because that level of emotion/that many emotional moments wouldn't happen (or only happen very rarely) in any adaptation where Watson was a man. Like the "you are exceptional," and "what's different about me is you" etc lines. Especially since they've only known each other a year. People complain that lines like that are OOC nonsense when it's written in slash fic.

I get the feeling that he's softened up a bit too much because they don't think a woman would put up with his behaviour the same way as a man without it making her looking like either a harpy or a doormat. Maybe I'm imagining it, but there's just this slightly uncomfortable undercurrent of "nope nope can't let him treat a woman as badly as the Watsons of all the recent adaptations get treated."
Or maybe I'm wrong and they just felt like making him nicer in this adaptation idk
