He also looks like a gnome. And everyone loves Wiggo too much, even tho he blatantly mystery packaged.
-
He just shares a lack of engaging personality a la Lewis Hamilton.
Being excellent at what you do just isn't the full package. He does have shed loads of die hard fans though
EDIT
You are right about him working and improving on weaknesses, he has made great changes.

For me, it was when he half wheeled Wiggins in 2012. He was the stronger climber, but Wiggins was the far stronger TT rider and wearing the yellow jersey.

I think froome is a pretty challenging athlete. He's hard to like, because he seems pretty professional (taps arm makes motion of smack use - amirigt?). Yet. He works on his weaknesses.
Fat - nope not now
Can't descend /terrible skillZ - nope
Doesn't know what to do to animate a race - looks at Olympic race where he went nuts downhill (but fell and failed,).
So what's the beef from the internet?
Mild sexism/full on misogyny against his wife
He's not a boy
He looks weird climbing
He's mild mannered
He's got a team of winners around him.
He does things in a calculated way.
Hes not always romantic.
It's his fucking job. He's doing quite well at his job isn't he?
