KI is also user-friendly.
Good auto-saving and checkpoints is really underrated and is usually much better than manual saves. I just finished replaying the original Deus Ex, and the lack of autosaves could really screw me over at times. There was times where I could lose 30-45 minutes of progress in a level because I forgot to hit the quicksave button. Compare that to later action RPGs, like Fallout series, where you would get an autosave whenever the game loaded in a new area. A good autosave system also discourages save-scumming, at least for me, and can help you get really immersed in the game when you don't have to keep remembering to hit the quicksave button.
I think they're pandering as much to people who watch streams as the actual hardcore players. Combos and super-moves look cool, so they're emphasized. Similar cancer afflicts other genres of games: everything has to be Twitch-friendly. High level fighting game players seem to hate what they play half the time, they have to go with what's hot whether they like it or not.

Okami has a really slow start, but it really does become a wonderful game once you get a few ink abilities and can start to explore. It's my favourite Zelda game, to be honest.
Adam is basically a manga character nobody asked for.
The more casual fighting games- Smash, and Netherrealm's games (a bit more complicated than Smash but with actual single player content unlike most Japanese fighters) seem to have broader appeal than the Street Fighters of the world nowadays.
Agreed, in the colisseum level, there is this really annoyng race with lots of obstacles, I had a car with foldable wings, and I used them to avoid one of the obstacles, then I realized the game does not penalize you at all for doing this, so I jsut kept flying, I loved that, but in turn hated the levels where they force you to use a premade vehicle.
gameplay wise I really liked Other M, the Ridley boss battle felt frenetic and was really memorable, I even like the special takedowns you can do on the enemies as it shows off how strong Samus is. I liked the concept of Samus limiting the use of her arsenal to minimze colateral damage (instead of just mysteriously losing all her items), but the fact that the game forces you to go trough lava zones without the Varia Suit and at no point Samus decides to activate it "Because Adam didn't authorize me uwu". and fucking Adam not authorizing it the minute you go trough the lava zone is stupid. But I'll agree that a large part of the hate it gets is unwarranted
They are too busy turning the Fighting Genre into the next Madden/Fifa series. I mean at this point any fighting game that comes out will have 5+ character DLCs and god knows how many costume ones.
How is that an unpopular opinion?
I'll even go far enough to say that Wings of Liberty wasn't even good.
It's story was horrible. As for the multiplayer, it was more fun than the expansions. The campaign gameplay was fun, even if it devolved into deathballs once you'd beaten it the first time. Hopefully Frost Giant - a new RTS studio composed of ex-Blizzard employees from both the Golden and Dark Age - will make something that's good in all areas, instead of just the 'making neat campaign upgrade and mission mechanics' area.
