This reads like a piece about nothing: setting an arbitrary dichotomy to pontificate about it.
Using such a broad stroke (who's to say that someone is uncritical, etc.?) is an iffy process. Beyond the armchair psychoanalysis of the so-called haters, casting people as such is an opportunity to cast aside actual criticism. And critics is what people with an audience and a privileged status (e.g. economic, social, or political) will, and should, garner. Power should come with its own criticism.
This can be exemplified with the treatment of Musk' critics, who are more often than not labeled as haters. A quick, dirty solution that fits in today's social media driven PR environment.
