This sort of comment pops up from time to time. And I get the point you're trying to make. I do. But boy, it gets tiresome. It smacks of "what you have is good enough, so shut up and sit down."
As for hate in the days of printed books, you can look at old Amazon reviews where people complain about small fonts used to save on page count, particularly on PD classics. Or print that ran into the binding. Or books being glued improperly so pages would fall out. Or printing errors. Or people complaining about the tall mass market paperbacks that were a thing for a while.
Anything that people spend enough time with, they will bitch and moan about. It didn't start with e-readers.
