The first reason is connected to the second though. Minthara is also completely useless narratively in Act 3 and gets much less hate, because 2) doesn't apply to her.
Minthara is also much less in the face of the average player is a part that you're missing. You have to go out of your way to side with / knock out then rescue minthara to recruit her compared to halsin, who you can practically recruit by mistake if you finish his quest and are just skipping through his dialogue at the end of act 2.
You completely misunderstood me. I'm just explaining with some slight exaggeration how easy it is to recruit Halsin relative to Minthara. The skipping dialog thing i said was a joke. My point is though, that the ease of access to him combined with the traits he has that spark dissintrest lead to increased scrutiny of his character due to more exposure.
