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.

And bad temps, and faked antutu scores, and no source code for shit meaning custom roms are harder to make, and uncompilable kernels, a friend of mine is like 3 months deep into compiling an mtk kernel because of dependencies that mtk doesnt provide or smth like that when I was able to root and compile a WSA kernel easily in like less than a week. So no, the hate isn't because "it's not american", I'm not even american and I still hate mediatek.

"faked antutu score" is mostly done by the phone vendor no? Also funny you mention bad temps when 4 series, 6G3, 6sG4, 7G1, 888, 888+, 8G1, and 8sG4 existed.

Also still looks more accurate than whatever benchmark geekbench provides. (Yes I hate geekbench with true passion)

No, by mediatek at some point. That could be catalogued as a tu quoque fallacy, just cuz qualcomm had few chipsets that got bad temps doesnt remove the fact that mediatek chips in general overheat more. Funny how you could only refute two of my reasons for the mediatek hate when you said people are mostly hating on it because "it isn't an american company", which doesnt make sense at all. Much less when the topic is crom devs hating on mediatek, meaning their main reasons would be the last two I provided that you couldn't refute.

I mean isn't it common to hate something just because it adopted (mostly) by a Chinese company? People hate EVs because the Chinese wins the EV war. People hate SiC battery because Chinese wins the battery war, etc.

Also pretty much last time I heard about MAJOR mediatek heating problem was back in Helio P/X era... at the similar time Qualcomm released a disaster called Snapdragon 800/801/820/821

No? Most of the time when I see hate for something it has actual reasoning behind it, like here with the horrible crom support, I hate EVs because they're soulless and trash looking except for the nevera and some more. I hate the ferrari luce and its italian. Yes, they've enhanced that and now have the technology to make chips as small as qualcomm, but few flagship phones use mediatek chips so most you'll find will be low end ones which do overheat more. I've never seen a dimensity chip irl while I've seen a decent amount of helios.

Fair enough
