The reality of Animal Crossing is that it's a PvP game. You compete with the entire world to have the best island for them to come visit or show off on social media. So when people exploit game mechanics to get an unfair advantage, they're outraged. It's the same as someone using an aimbot in an FPS, cheating in a PvP game.

(I personally don't care at all. I am secretly hoping that people are playing this game because they literally have nothing else to do because of COVID-19, and that when people can go outside again, people will not be getting $11,000 a month on Patreon to predict turnip prices. But obviously I am very out of touch on all of this.)
