Because the kinds of people who likes to pile on McArthur are mostly far-right people who are trying to discredit the positive things he did, especially his team's work on drafting the current Japanese constitution which established a democratic system with strong safeguards for human rights. It's not McArthur's own character that I'm taking issues with.

MacArthur was an entirely overrated historical figure who had retired before WWII even broke out. His troops didn't like him, he was just really good at snowing the people above him. He had a minor version of Steve Jobs' reality distortion field.
