Personally the problem I have with salesfag arguments is that sales are just one data point. You don't have to explain why a game is good, just that a lot of people bought it. Yes it COULD mean that a game is legitimately good. But it COULD mean the game just had really good marketing. You need more than just sales to properly convey the quality of a game.
As it pertains to Fire Emblem, I'd consider myself a 3Hfag. But that's only because I like the characters and world. Mechanically, I don't hate it but I could schizorant on the amount of problems I have with the game. And while I put a lot of value on characters and world, it also means I have to share space with dipshits who watched a YouTube video and then considers themselves an expert on the game. Which I dislike. I've beaten every route on maddening at least twice but I have to be roommates with the guy who slept through the game on normal. Meanwhile the guy who puts 0 value in character and world gets nothing out of 3H. But since everyone bought 3H, I can't blame that guy for being frustrated because at the end of the day, sales is but one data point. But it's the only data point publishers look at. So if they found Engage to be more mechanically interesting, then yeah they're going to be concerned about the fate of the series which is now being dictate by those who refuse to engage with it. And I can't begrudge them of that.
