Or maybe they dislike it because they actually don't think it's one of the greatest games ever made. The graphics were, frankly, ugly, apart from the FMVs, and the plot was incoherent and rambling and refused to answer a lot of the questions it raised. Who exactly were you chasing after for the entire first half of the game? It certainly wasn't Sephiroth, although legions of drooling fanboys still haven't picked up on that, which indicates to me that the allegedly unrivaled storytelling methods of the game might not have actually been that great.
Edit: And, to respond to your "analogy," most of what's popular right now is terrible. OutKast's The Love Below and Green Day's American Idiot are the only two recent #1 albums I can think of that actually deserved their popularity.
