Look, I'm going to take this as personal preference. Personally, I'd rather have options available, even if I don't use all of them. Just because you don't find DL a suitable setting, doesn't mean ALL the other gamers feel the same way as you do.
For fair comparison, perhaps one should open discussions about why no love for Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, Rokugan, Kara-Tur, Zakhara, Kingdom of Kalamar, etc.

Perhaps one should. They all have their good and bad points, like DL and every other D&D fabrication. No harm in discussing those things. I don't play in Dragonlance but it's still my favorite non-homebrew setting, and the only reason I ever checked D&D out in the first place. No other D&D books I've ever read would have persuaded me to play the game the way Dragonlance did, not even Tolkien made me as curious about fantasy; and since all my gaming friends got into D&D through me, that's 12 people who owe our years of gaming together directly to those first 6 books. We all read them and we all loved them.
