I wouldn’t call it “garbage beyond belief”, I think it’s fine as a game, but as someone who doesn’t like it, I can’t personally put a finger on a specific thing that makes me dislike it.
For me it fails at the “hunter fantasy” (I’m not sure how to call it), mostly because of changes that started in World (it’s been a while since I played it so I don’t have a list of examples, but one I can think of is how hot/cold environments have essentially been removed).
I dislike the lack of the previous games’ mission structure, as it feels like you are just going on killing sprees, the combat feels off due to how hitstun works and I don’t like how everything feels frictionless.
I do like World a lot (and generally prefer it to 4U and 3U) and dislike GU and Rise more than Wilds, so I’m not sure where the line is for me, but there’s a lot of little things that don’t land for me.
