I think the Vollachia arcs fatigue probably clouded their judgement on it. Plus, its large new cast meant there was less time to focus on the series's protagonists. I honestly think shotabaru would've been more warmly welcomed had it not been attached to Vollachia, along with a good enough focus on the cast most fans care about, including Subaru.
