>>43862539XY had the exact same flaws all previous gens had, but to make up for it had a lot of QoL improvements and a much more bearable story, with better map design, legendaries, things to do, online, etc. And yes, being the first fully 3D games IS an accomplishment on its own.
People just like to exaggerate its flaws (which again, were no different from flaws from the past, and even future) and dismiss everything it did well out of spite and immaturity to properly discuss things, because to deny those things it did well is to be disingenuous.
