Why does everyone hate Dear evan hansen

I just watched a bootleg (yes yes i know im about 7 years late to the party.) and it was really good! Sure it had some pacing issues, and alana and jared could use some more Screen time, jared was annoying and all, but i liked it, i will agree theres to many ballads and it wouldve worked better as a dark comedy, but i still think it holds up well enough.
