I think at least a few of those objections are addressed in the show.
The reason I didn’t like it is that all the previous incarnations of Wednesday had her as vengeful to those who deserved it, but basically decent, if a little sardonic, towards those who didn’t. Whereas this new one was a colossal B to everyone she met by default; made it kind of hard to root for her.
I think the new one coded her much more clearly as autistic, and ND people can come off as alienating to neurotypicals. I’m autistic myself and I didn’t consider her that way however.
