A lot of the online tough-guys have the perspective that "It's not a game targeted towards a male audience where you do manly shit" so they don't take it seriously whatsoever. I guess it isn't that they aren't games in that sense, more so they are not games that someone should take seriously. Dumb.
Cozy games is such a vague term, though. Could be anything! To me, JRPGs are cozy games, and those have 87 *billion* battle sequences. I think it's just a classic case of people failing to see outside their bubble and trying to gatekeep things for no reason, mistaking preference for immutable fact.
