No I don't think that is the reason at all
I think there's a few factors here.
1) Some people are critics. They will be critical of almost any commentator save for the best of the best (and may even be critical of those.) There just isn't any pleasing this type of person. They are likely to be critical of anybody who is the Flames PBP voice.
2) Kerr's voice. It does get a little shrieky at points and I can see how this irritates some people.
3) Kerr's inexperience. He's obviously new to PBP and this showed last season. He misidentified players at times (Comeau for Tanguay when obviously he could only see the O on the jersey). There's things he does that will improve over time I'm sure.
4) His use of catchphrases. These rub some people the wrong way.
I think your theory really doesn't play any role in it whatsoever.
