It's tricky to understand exactly why any given comment gets disliked (is it the message itself, the tone, the content, the person...?), but with that said: I suspect in this case that it's not so much people disagreeing with your statement regarding the quality of grit routes as it is them expressing their distaste with you putting other people down for what they enjoy doing with their time.
Obviously you're free to not climb on gritstone and think that it's a bit overhyped, but given the broader context of our hobby (climbing up the sheer faces of things that we could walk around the side of), it's a bit of a weird distinction to make. Yes, Scottish crags are bigger and less easily accessed than grit crags (and much bigger than what is, in the case of the Lawrencefield LGP, basically a very highball boulder problem 25 metres from an A road), but by that logic anything less than big-walling or Himalayan alpine climbing is trite and meaningless.
Let other people have their fun.
