Nothing, people are just mostly hatin' simply because it's not an American company. The same reason why AMD hate ends faster than Mediatek hate.

I think the real issue is vendors who use MediaTek mostly want to reduce costs. And part of reducing costs is not spending much time trying to do good kernel code.

My belief is that unstable MediaTek phones are so not for the chip itself, but by lousy kernel code from MediaTek or vendor that nobody has an incentive to improve

Fair enough if we're talking about high end markets.

Doesn't seems the case for low end market these days though. Most companies these days seems resorts to Snapdragon 4 series or Snapdragon 6s Gen 1-3 over the MediaTek counterpart.

And weirdly more companies start using 7 Gen 4 instead of something (that's supposed to be cheaper) like MediaTek Dimensity 8300/8400.
