As a long time MLS supporter (late 90's), I agree with you, however, every other aspect of the deal has been a significant improvement over the mix of ESPN+, FS1, ect.
Not having blackouts, greatly improved streaming quality, single subscription, the pre- and post-match shows, global audience, added content, etc have taken the league to another level - to a point where we are even seeing the changes at one of the lowest payrolled clubs in the league in Colorado. Additionally, Apple played a big role in Messi signing with an MLS club. (Side note: found this in his Instagram bio being followed by 482 million people..

The main complaints I have seen are the commentary as well as lack of Android application. Other than those two items, people seem to be thrilled with the service so far.
