I don't think Kishi was ever bashed for his decisions that much. Like fans were disappointed, but people were able to move on. The shippers in Naruto are flat out cancer so them criticizing Kishi is no big deal but Ikemoto and Kodachi are flat out garbage.
They don't realize they are tainting his work by adding more ass pulls and eye powerups. Now we also have a tattoo system thrown into the Naruto mix. Man, things change fast.

The Boruto curse marks and eye jutsu's have no set powers, so they are really just deus ex machina plot devices used out of nowhere to cover plot holes.
the reason why we miss him is because whatever he does, goes.
for ikemoto and kodachi, we would always have the go to "it's fanfic" excuse and rightfully so as they really can't experiment and go out of script from kishi's original work as it wouldn't feel like the sequel is from the same universe.
The main issue is that they go on about with experimenting but get so caught up in trying to keep it the same that they practically didn't create something new or flat out doesn't fit into the universe anymore.
For example, Boruto. Complete carbon copy of Part 1 Naruto slowly becoming more and more like Sasuke.
The one eye doujutsu is what pissed me off. Kishi had already released the double byakugan doujutsu artwork for Boruto and yet that was retconned.
I like Ikemoto's design of the fused Momoshiki but the rest of the series has been garbage so far. The only ones who follow the sequel are the ones who are invested on the previous generation and want to know more about them. Except you're moniker is 123fillerino.
If you create a sequel and the only thing that people want from it is the people from the prequels (the past generation) but your focus is the new generation, then you've failed.
Ikemoto is really just copying Kishi's ideas now. The Karma seal has the same abilities as the Preta Path plus more rectons yet to come, who knows.
There is no creativity within the sequel and even the technology is taken out of proportion making the manga/anime less exciting.
Kishi copied most of his sht from other Mangaka comics.
There's really no "originality" in it as some'd say.
Also people really should check out the Part 1 Naruto Chunnin exams and compare it to the current turd. There is not a hint of tension in the new chunnin exams while in the old ones you could feel the grit and tension what with Oro getting involved and all. Funnily enough we have a powerhouse like Momo interfering in the new one but there is zero tension compared to what Orochimaru was doing.

You a god damn lie
He was bashed but not as much as Ikemoto. People still respected his decisions. For example with Kakashi's Susanoo people were disappointed how he could pull out his PS like that without having EMS, but they grew to respect his decision.
Ikemoto just gets shit on everyday. Starting from his drawings, to his incorporation of side characters.
