'You're all making fun of it and yet you buy it'

No, those are two different groups. Gamers (tm) are not a monolithic block. Some like it, some hate it, some in between. To lump that all together is moronic.

Yes, and the most outspoken Gamers™ represent a minority. There's a reason studios don't pander to them.

Outspoken Gamers™ are not a monolithic block either. That's the funny thing about people.

Most Outspoken Gamers^tm^ nowadays don't even play the games they're being outspoken about. Look at all the clowns calling Ghost of Yotei "woke" for having a female protagonist when Tsushima already had multiple female warriors.
