Most places here have a ritual to "say something bad and say something good", which mostly brings out a half-assed response from one side or even both sides. Criticizing others or even just things has been stamped out during upbringing due to it generally being a really bad move socially, whereas praising others is much easier. I'd extrapolate that and say most people don't think of things that could be criticized too much as a result, and don't have enough experience criticizing, which in turn creates little critical feedback.
