French Bulldogs - Why so much negativity on here?

Following on from a different thread, I noticed a lot of negativity surrounding French Bulldogs - as a Frenchie Owner (Had my first for 13 Years, now have x2 more aged 3 and 6) ) I have only heard bad things on here. All of ours have been pedigree / KC Registered with long, long bloodline. Never faced any Health issues, my first old girl lived a fantastic long life and our current two are a delight. They're funny, faithful, somewhat lazy and adored by everyone we meet on walks and activities.
Is there really so many horror stories out there surrounding the breeding and health?

My lad is a vet. He and his colleagues are tired of dealing with dogs that have been bred to be a certain type with little, if any, concern about their quality of life. Many end up with endless visits to the vet, that become costly, and have high insurance premiums as a result.
Like car insurance, the number of claims over a year pushes up the costs of others premiums, who don't own facially deformed dogs with breathing difficulties.
I wouldn't have one if you gave me one for free.

I tend to think of them as the 'dog for the person who really wanted another baby.' Nothing hugely against them, but I'm a working breed person who likes dogs with proper faces. I can never tell what brachycephalic dogs are thinking.

My neighbour has a pair and they are perfectly sweet, but only do little walks, struggle in the hot weather and seem to stare at me a lot.
