For one, people quit Naughty Dog en-masse before this game, not because of this game or the story, but because of their horrific work culture and ridiculously long hours.
There was debate over the story internally, but it was about the major death and the character switching, as of course that is a huge and potentially divisive risk, but it doesn't mean people despised the game internally.
And all that said, as much as I didn't care much for the game, in no way should Druckmann or the voice actor for Abby expect threats of violence and death. A lot of these criticisms are also homophobic and transphobic, which is completely ridiculous and should be seen as ridiculous.
However anyone feels about the game, to suggest it was designed to push buttons (and not in the literal sense) is a dumb opinion to have.
