I wouldn't point not liking something a lack of something. After all if I don't like apples, for example, that doesn't mean I lack competence, intelligence or I don't understand how apples work. Liking something is subjective, and one can like things others find completely unbearable, and vice-versa.
Though in some cases, a person can acknowledge its faults and still like the game. That is also possible and how I feel about some games. I don't like some genres, but I won't say they're bad because I know how they work and the design choices that made the final product like that. I just happen no to like them. Good design doesn't mean people will like it 100% of the times. We're different of each other, thus we have different points of view about the same thing.
I'm just adding this to what you said; I agree with you but I felt it was important to add this. Games don't change its content over time, and poor design choices should be avoided whenever you can; but there's always someone that likes it the way it is..
