Why do people hate Taekwondo so much?

Why do people hate Taekwondo so much? I mean…it’s just like any other martial art. I take Taekwondo and nothing is wrong with that. What is the reason? I don’t understand that. Everyone thinks that Taekwondo is just a bunch of flashy kicks. Can you prove that? Have you ever seen Taekwondo, the original, (not just the olympic sport) in hand to hand combat? What’s your opinion about Taekwondo and why?
But remember, I’m not talking about Mcdojos.
I’m talking about the real thing. Especially in Korea. In Korea, they take it seriously. Just like any other martial art.

Did Chinese soilders learn martial arts like Samurai did?

If not, then how did they learn to use weapons in combat? The way i see it, Samurai were required to learn each weapons martial art and Jujitsu for had-to-hand, just like Shaolin Monks and Ninja, (Disregaurd that they’re from different countries.). So what did Chinese cavalry learn? Kung-Fu teaches everything together.
