Of course there would be. We have 50 million D&D players. If even 1% come and complain, that's 500,000 complaints that you will see, and complainers are MUCH more vocal about it than those that are happy with the situation. The fact is, you don't know the statistics, so you are just taking a wild guess and claiming it as fact.
As for being removed, they got removed in 3e, before anyone was really consulted. It was just a change WotC made in the early days. And anti-magic fields and similar effects(like anti-magic zones in the world) are present to this day. The one mechanic out of the two that was actually removed, wasn't removed over being disliked, because WotC didn't know. They weren't doing the big time surveys that they currently undertake. The removal isn't proof of some kind of massive hatred among players.
