More often than not this is "it seems like there are problems with how it's implemented but I can't think of them now" but sometimes it definitely is "that's not the way I would have done it and therefore wrong"

All that said, I used to work with a guy that would find a reason to fail every code review. It became common for people to add intentional easy mistakes so that the lead could feel like he was contributing.

not the way I would have done it

It could be a legitimate criticism. Sticking to a codebase style and to the language idioms improves clarity and thus maintainability. But then, that means the way to do it should already be clear.
