It's a variety of issues, but mainly it's because it's in combination with Game Freak's reasoning.
They said that they were cutting Pokémon in order to improve the models and animations of the returning pokemon. Kind of like Monster Hunter World.
If this was the case, while there would still be people complaining, it wouldn't be too bad.
However, animations appear to be reused with no updates. Models appear to be reused with no updates. The reason Sun and Moon ran like a cripple was because the models were made higher quality than the 3DS could handle effectively so they were future proofed. So the work was already done.
But Game Freak are the most inefficient company I've seen when it comes to this: faces use completely different models rather than just swapping out textures. Dynamaxing shows the time left using the number of clouds. Wanna guess how they do this? By swapping out 3 different models per Dynamax pokemon. Not just focusing on the clouds.
So tl;dr there's more to it than "I want Scizor"
