Criticism is an important part of the creative process. Complacency is the enemy of innovation. It does not serve any productive purpose to overlook bad design choices simply because they "ruin" the game or there are other redeeming qualities to it. Bad choices should always be criticized, as how can anyone know what they are doing wrong if you don't tell them.

Keep in mind there is a strong difference between criticism and simply harping on the game. You may feel this is the latter, which I would consider to be simply saying that there were parts that you personally dislike and say "it's bad, m'kay" without real reason or solution. I feel this is the former, which I consider to be saying what you found to be lacking, then providing your reasoning for thinking so and clear realistic solutions to avoiding or remedying the issue.

Although I disagree with the proposal, and the severity the OP places on it, this is still constructive criticism and it should be encouraged, even if it seems a little thin.
