The Dismissal of Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze

I know this game has been talked about so many times. However I just want to really dig deep and understand why a game that is beautifully crafted and given a lot of love by the developers was rejected so harshly by Nintendo fans and even the media. I understand that many people wanted a new game or Metroid from Retro, but the amount of hate and flack it got was extreme. Is it that people think that Donkey Kong as a property is beneath Retro? Or is it because 2D games are seen as low budget throwaway games that don't come close to 3D games? Which I find as a joke because Tropical Freeze imo is one of the most complex games in terms of gameplay and level designs than most 3d games I have played.

I fear that if Retro were to do another Donkey Kong game it would see a bigger backlash even if Retro were the ones that wanted to make another one.
Thanks
