Do you have specific examples (with link to same from the time of the hire)? I don't remember widespread horror (or anything approaching condemnation) on any of those from 'on the record' industry people. Sure, there were fans that were tepid at the hires and maybe some media but I don't recall m/any of their peers reacting such (not saying that none did... just that I don't remember many, to say nothing of it being the widespread industry consensus).
The prevailing narrative is almost always at least vaguely positive when someone new gets the job. There is little incentive to do otherwise (and it's actually self-harming to do so).
