I think you are perceiving the right things here.

There has always been more fixation on characters individually, then a fixation on the characters and plot holistically. I doubt this will ever change, When such a change occurs and people refuse to accept this change in nature of a character, they will start looking for proof that supports their view on the character.

Much like how I don't like Touka's behaviour in the first half of the series. Many people already forgave that a long time ago, but it'll always play a very important factor in her future character development for me personally.

the best way to satisfy majority would be creating characters who are either complete villains (evil) or complete heroes (good) with some extra tweaks to make them more badass or charming.

Start mixing good with evil and people get into an internal struggle, which simply expresses itself in anger/frustration/salt.

the expectations for both characters (Arima & Eto) seen on a spectrum would be the outer sides, but reality shows us our expectations were completely wrong. We've long seen them as complete opposites & this seems to betray the way Ishida kept portraying this characters. It's more a frustration that they didn't see this coming, rather then bad writing. Opposites attract after all.

lel well it's too bad something like this ruins a complete story for certain people, but if that's what they decided ruined it, then i'm sure they will find plenty of other manga not making characters so dubiously realistic. And if there wasn't anything else that grabbed their attention, then they just didn't really have any appreciation for the story.

salty comments are just an outlet, when they're out things can be put in perspective again. And hate on characters compared to hate towards the plot, makes hating characters not such a big deal. (There are plenty after all, but only 1 plot --> Kiyoko's)
