It’s not that they are unliked, it’s that they don’t have a lot of ‘wow’ to them. ARs are very good utility weapons. But I would probably ‘like’ something like an old cheap enfield better than an AR. I don’t develop fond warm feelings over a gun any more than I do a towel in a stack of assorted towels.
I like the activities of firearm ownership for sure. I like that you can tinker with ARs and assemble parts during times you can’t shoot. ARs do their task well, in a satisfactory manner. As far as semiautomatic rifles go, they are low cost.
I think more AR owners just have them for their good utilitarian value, not because ARs turn their crank. Some of us have guns we don’t like much and still keep them and then go buy another that we do like.
I’ve though about firing up my forge and making art out of a couple of AR barrels that I haven’t used, lol, then I could appreciate them more.
