Why do people hate new Thorfinn?

In my opinion Baltic war arc Thorfinn was the best we’ve seen. I don’t get the hate for him not fighting, sure it may not be the most exciting but he’s trying his best to stay clear of trouble. It could even apply to real life if you focus on yourself and loved ones and avoid conflicts, life can be so much more fun and appreciated. People calling it boring and “not cool” are just immature in my opinion.
