Probably because a community is a bunch of people, not one centrally controlled hive mind. Hell, I just found out there exists a person who loves True-Name Nemesis.

Personally, I've loved a lot of the viable printings they've done in the past few years, only TNN and the Dumb Cheaty Crew (Jin-Git, Griseltard, Emratrolol and Omniderp/Enter The Infinite) really grind my gears, mostly because they just feel so absudly, offensively dumb to what is supposed to be an intellectual exercise. You can have the thirst for big, splashy and kinda dumb fat satisfied in somewhat different packages that care at least a bit more about the game state. Hell, my inner Timmy is a big reason I play Elves. Pumping the team for +24/+24 and swinging for 172 IS fun.
DRS, Decay, Lingering Souls, Commander/Planechase goodies like Ooze, Agent, Strix, Flusterstorm, Toxic Deluge and so on are all amazing cards I love to play with. Delver and Snapcaster, same, even if I wish their colours were different.
