You can't win with haters.
Unfortunately when that does happen, the support cast hold barely any relevance or importance to the plot. Think about it, their importance in every arc is there to take care of the enemy fodder so that Ichigo can take care of the main villain. It's not that there exists a complicated plot that demands their presence in that specific place so as to make them memorable and their efforts meaningful. Which means that taking away plot importance we are left with character portrayal which more often than you and I would like to admit fails miserably, eg Kyoraku got put on the sideline for Nanao's sake... So it's only logical that people would want to see Ichigo, not necessarily for his character but for the sake of plot progression as well as his association with this series' interesting characters (Urahara, Ishida, Aizen etc). But when he marysues his way out of everything people say " I wish things were more complicated and side characters were actually relevant instead of ichigo taking care of everything". I don't see it as hating, I see it as valid critisicm , albeit a bit disguised in an aggressive attitude.
