Why are Bose systems hated?

Considering that it's a stock stereo, it sounds pretty descent. It's on par with my friends Lexus IS250. My expectations were that it would not sound like the 2-12inch W6s and Aftermarket JL-VRs I had in my 350Z but that it would sound as good or better as another stock stereo. I think the Lexus as something like 14 speakers and for the Z only having 8 it sounds pretty good.

Now if you want something to sound like a $3000 system then the Bose is not for you. I've spent enough money on stereos over the years and I think i am done with stereo upgrading. I am really pleased with the quality of the Bose. The bass doesnt' thump like 2 12s but how can you really expect that?
