Anyone crying about GW ruining lore or whatever are clearly the tourists, the "canon" changes Everytime GW needs to sell a few million plastic minis. Storm of chaos, what? krorks, what? Slann using guns, chain swords in fantasy, xenomorph tyranids, Terminator Necrons, goblins being chaos aligned, etc etc
Yeah I really stopped giving a shit with Primaris being an obvious money grab to convince players to buy their Space Marine armies a second time. Or how Horus Heresy for some reason has like 60+ books with awful prose, zero editing, and turned something mythical into something bland while shitting up the rest of the franchise. Then I realized I hit grog status because a lot of the older players when I started 20-something years ago felt the same way with the shift from Rogue Trader to 3rd. or the wave of secondaries flooding in from Dawn of War.
It's all made up and the story doesn't matter. No one is going to force you to buy and paint stuff you don't like nor are they going to take away your models.
Yeah bringing back Guilliman and the addition of the Primarus really was the dagger in the heart of the franchise being 'consistent' for me. Not that it ever really was, it's just you can't just make 'bigger, better, Space Marines' the whole point of the 40k franchise is that the Imperium is in a state of technological freefall. Things are only supposed to get worse in more absurd and fantastical ways because the Imperium doesn't resemble any of the good qualities of humans.
And that's aside from the fact most of the inane super-nerd lore is largely fleshed out by the TTRPGs like WFRP and Dark Heresy that were 100% created by the kind of "woke" people they're so heated about.
