There are 2 section of viewers: online audience and trp audience.
Trp audience's major goal is entertainment, they actually don't care much about actors or character arc but they all support fl no matter what and in case of legacy shows the descendants of the og leads. I personally know many people who are watching rishta since starting and they all are liking akshu and abhira too. The craze of itv surely dipped down from what it was like few years ago but still leads are surely liked.
Online audience like on IF, Twitter or insta very rarely watch shows on tv. They most of the time see shows for their fav actor or nice character arcs.
You can see so many shows which show dumb things and all people online criticised it or troll it but still they are performing good in trps is because of this above reason.
Last season online audience were liking Aarohi maybe because she was career oriented unlike regular fls of itv. And disliked Akshu because of her over sacrificing nature and few coz she married someone else then ml.
In gen 4 too most people are liking Ab except few maybe coz her father was not someone or some other reason too.
Vaise bhi fl ka character ajeeb hi hota h. Except og Akshara all other fls of rishta are similar to those stereotypical fls only.
If you'll check YouTube comment section you can see which character people like.
