Actually, it's not Link Monsters that are disliked by the community, it's Master Rule 4. It's Master Rule 4 that people dislike, not the Link Monsters. The Link Monsters themselves are fine, but many people dislike Master Rule 4 because of the Extra Deck limitation. The Extra Deck limitation is the reason why people are angry, not Link Monsters themselves. Master Rule 4 is the problem because it severely limits the Extra Deck, it's not Link Monsters by themselves. The problem people have is not Link Monsters in general, but Master Rule 4 and the changes it brings. Look at it (Master Rule 4 and Links) this way:
If it was just Link Monsters, people wouldn't have a problem. People don't really have a problem with Link Monsters. But the problem is in the fact that Master Rule 4 prevents you from using other Extra Deck monsters without Links.
Master Rule 4 is the actual issue. Without it, people wouldn't be angry. Master Rule 4 makes it so that you cannot use your Extra Deck like you did before without using Link Monsters, which is why people are angry.
That's kinda the whole deal in a nutshell, and the reason why people are angry at Master Rule 4, not the Link Monsters themselves. The proper way to handle this would be getting rid of Master Rule 4 (which restricts Extra Deck usage without Link monsters), but keeping Link Monsters, since they aren't a problem by themselves. I hope that clears things up, and shows the reason why people are angry (that being the inclusion of Master Rule 4, not exactly Link Monsters).
