Yeah I think a lot of the nonsense criticism comes from this lol
I was floored when I went to watch Attack on Titan and checked the wait between the first and second seasons of the anime - the first came out in 2013, and the second only in 2017, because the production house wanted to wait for the manga to advance.
Adapting anime basing it strictly on the manga is the current standard. I don''t think it's perfect, but I really do prefer it than how they did it in the 80s/90s, filling up all anime with more filler than actual story because the mangakas couldn't keep up. I can't stand current anime that follow that trend even, like One Piece.
