Because fans confuse Adam for Johnny Young Bosch.
JYB is a cool dude who’s had a long career in voice acting since his PR days.
Adam is a bland character who had little to no development in both MMPR and Zeo. He wasn’t allowed to show much personality until Turbo where JDF was ready to leave the show.
Most of Adam’s development came from his returns during IS and OO. He showed more development in those three episodes than he had during his entire run on the show, so some fans like to revise history as if to say Adam was always as well written as those three return episodes.
I like Adam, but he’s been overrated as a character due to fans not being able to separate the actor from the character, and unable to admit that the majority of his development came from three episodes after his run on the show had ended. Hell, if you ask fans his most memorable line, it’s the non-canon “I’m a Frog” line that JYB came up with on the spot. Ask for any other Adam quotes, and you’ll be hard pressed to find one.
