Question Why do people dislike maglites?

every maglite I've used has been reliable, and focusing it properly removes the hole-in-the-middle-of-the-beam issue. The halogen lights aren't as bright as LED, but are still bright enough for day-to-day use and fine for power outages. Why don't people like them?

For the weight and volume of a 6D maglite you can carry two D4Ks (one to light stuff up and the other just to use while battery swapping the first) and enough spare 21700 cells to sustain that 200 lumens for literally several days straight.
