I think the main argument was that it was not developed by Sonic Team. As for the rest, I can't really say for sure. Looking back at these development videos, Sonic Boom (Rise of Lyric) seemed as if it had a good thing going, or so to say they knew what they wanted.

Of course people would definitely not like the game. After all, this is the Sonic fanbase we're talking about so there's nothing Sonic can do that won't be nitpicked and perceived as incorrect.

So really, I don't know where this went wrong. And quite frankly, many unrushed games have turned out bad.
