I don't think WP:NOTE or WP:RELIABLE as such are what ruffles people's feathers. Rather, it's Wikipedia's insistence on pre-chewed secondary sources from legacy media – the roundabout "No original research" policy – which was a questionable (and often questioned) move from the start.

Now public trust in corporate news is at a record low [0], for good reasons. Wikipedia simply hitched their "truth and reliability wagon" to a dying horse, and the chicken are coming home to roost.
