Is Anderson lower hate justified?

[montana]

Some of it is (thinly disguised) ego. They dropped $500 on a $100 part so naturally you have to do the same.

Yup, besides the ego some place on their expensive brands, I have seen a lot of malfunctioning AR rifles being misdiagnosed and the problem being wrongfully directed towards the Anderson lower. I have personally never had any problems with my Anderson lowers and if I did, I would send it back for a free replacement. Anderson lowers are one of the best values for the budget minded..
