The problem with criticizing this episode is that it will only lead to really circular shutting out. Most of the time, people don't actually bother to acknowledge criticism of an episode, but this time, they feel validated to reject criticism for simply being criticism given what the episode is. You won't get anywhere productive with trying to voice a dissenting opinion on this episode unless if you're surrounded by people who already agree with you.

The leg that people who defend this episode feel they have to stand on really only exists in their heads, but it's an annoyingly persistent and widely shared leg.

TL;DR "You're missing the point!" is probably just a knee-jerk reaction.
