Honestly, the "hate on d&d" train really became a thing after WotC bought TSR. Also, I completely agree with you: cross-fluidity of game systems was fun to distro hop, basically, for a change of pace/theme — though the recent boom of innovation is especially exciting! So many new concepts and styles of play, and even reimaginings of timeless classics like Planescape, et al. 🥰
Hating on D&D is a past time that's as old as D&D. I agree though, the attitude towards the franchise ignores that they are generally making a few good small steps for each corporate, huge step back. It's still my workhorse system while I explore games with deeply different tones and mechanics but I haven't found a want to replace it at my table at all.
