People, rightly, mention the story a lot but gameplay is another big issue. If you like Arknights for the slow paced strategic tower-defense gameplay from the OG there's pretty much nothing to like about the high pace 3D combo action style of Endfield. It is a completely different style for a completely different audience. The most you get for strategy in Endfield is team building, but with the elemental system, small team size and tiny overall roster you're incredibly restricted anyway.
Frankly if I wanted to play 3D action combo slop there's a million games that do it better than Endfield, and while I thought the factory was fairly fun, slogging through 10 hours of bad story and worse combat to get to tinker with the factory for an hour or 2 just isn't worth it.
To top it all off, as someone who doesn't like fanservice-y or horny character designs, Endfield also does significantly worse in this category than OG imo.

Arknights players are probably the ones who hate Endfield the most.
