It seems more to me that people are upset their favorite artist isn't as acclaimed as Beyoncé by respected music publications and just throw out the "all opinions are equal" argument as a cover. Someone who really doesn't care about MC just wouldn't talk about it.

Right. People put these MC critics on a pedestal, so we have discussions about MC, even though we shouldn't, because the critics might as well be ATRL users themselves.
I don't think it has to do with faves, we all have a variety of faves with varying degrees of acclaim. It's just a discussion about critical acclaim in music and whether it's possible for there to be any objectivity to it.
