There are countless reasons as to why the modern era is complete and utter trash. Just to name a few there is the awful storytelling, atrocious characterization of returning characters, bad art direction and presentation, bland levels, abysmal controls, cringe inducing dialogue, a lack of any real difficulty, bad voice acting, a clear lack of creativity and so, so much more. Honestly I could list the issues with the Modern era until the heat death of the universe and still not be finished. The sad thing is that a good portion of the fanbase are seemingly unaware of this, most likely due to a severe lack of taste.

The biggest issue with the Modernshit series is that it has strayed from the formula that made the Sonic franchise so popular in the first place. The original games were characterized by their fast-paced running levels, the use of momentum mechanics, the engaging platforming sections, and the game's overall sense of style and fun. It wasn't just a standard platformer, it was a revolutionary one. The Modern series, however, has been characterized by its reliance on automated, soulless hand holding gameplay, the use shitty half hearted gimmicks of the month and camera systems that don't function properly and general repetitive level design with no identity. Modern is truly proof that humanity would eat any piece of steaming shit if it coincides with their shit taste.
