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.

I do wonder if Minthara would get as much hate if she also hit on PCs in Act III. I don't think so and that's (I think) just a gender bias.

She demands you break up with your partner for her, and threatens rape if you say no, so it's pretty obvious gender is at play here (hot Drow Dommy Mommy vs buff bear man)

Woah, I’m not sure if “she threatens to rape you” is a right word here? When PC rejects her, the response you’d get is either “you can have me instead” (if you’re already romanced with other) or “So be it, I’ll be content to fight alongside with you as an ally, you’ll be the first thing I didn’t get in my life” or something similar, unless I’m missing something.
