>their lore is garbage
What lore.
That's kind of a big issues with those guys, everything relating to them just exists without any real explanation. Like what is the Lost Hex exactly? Who named them the "Deadly Six"? If they're guarding the Lost Hex, why, or are they just a group of assholes? Are/were there other Zeti like them at one point? Why is there a random conch shell that can weaken them?
Sonic Team really wanted to set these guys up as an alternative to Eggman, but forgot that you need to give people at least some context on who the fuck they are if you want anyone to care. SA1 should have been their blueprint, having the backbone of the given plot built around gradually revealing more and more of Chaos/D6's history to help invest people in this new, non-Eggman antagonist.
In comparison, the D6 are basically just a group of talking Biolizards. They're randomly introduced to serve as boss fights, disappear at the end without any real explanation, and that's that.
Oh, except they somehow keep showing up past their initial game with still nothing about them being properly explained. And as a result, people continue to not care.
