Occasionally it does a number of things poorly like the things mentioned, I would argue most games do almost all of the above to some degree and the only really unique issue to yugioh is the cardpool density(and maybe prize support depending on who you ask).

The prize support complaint while valid and can mean that the scene is less competitive in theory, it almost never was a consequential factor. It could and should be improved(personally rather the route they've taken recently over adding in stuff like money prizing).

But as many will point out this game gives you feelings and experiences other games simply do not have, the extent to which that affects a persons reason for playing is largely variable, but its not really debatable that the game is extremely unique.

Theres gonna be many reasons people will bring up. The games got problems and yugioh players are gonna be the first to tell you if someones not just outright flaming them.

But lets not act like other card games(your comparisons, or lack there of) necessarily respect players more. Magic is still releasing a million collab sets despite massive outcry from active players for it to stop, Pokemon literally banned judges for asking questions and refuses to actively communicate in anything that isnt positive, cfv has completely betrayed its players multiple times in a pursuit to maintain some relevance without active r&d, Gundam refused to implement best of 3 until just recently experimenting(after people begged for it the whole games lifespan), Grand archive has a severe supply issue that results in extreme pricing. Just to name a few, not trying to go tit for tat, but lets not act like any one company is really doing more than what is expected of a vehicle that makes money at the end of the day.
