It's not hate, it's disinterest from most. They don't hate that these are being made but they have no strong inclinations to buy them either.

Arguably they aren't toys under the typically thought of definition. Toys are most often defined as a child's play thing. These are play things but certainly not for children, even the box suggests as much with the "ages 17 +" marking. So they are toys in that they can be played with but they're aimed at adults, hence most refer to them as "adult collectibles." When you enter the realm of "adult collectibles" looks are often expected to trump articulation and standards are raised above what Hasbro or Mattel would make.
I don't personally disdain the thought of misaligned netting once the figure is posed but it does look better if it can be matched up. I don't wish these didn't have the ab joints since it's cool to have the added options but it's gonna be a potential little bit of a bother to leave it displayed in a pose that breaks the pattern.
