Why are literary editors such cancer?

>Muh b-plot not uplifting
>First page has no hook
>Every pg has to move plot forward
>Not enough cliffhangers
>Mid-point needs a second conflict to raise the stakes
>Protagonist not heroic enough
>Antagonist is evil enough
>Does not follow three acts properly
>Cut out every scene that makes it different
>Those are the rules bro, why you so mad?

I beleive that entitely depends on the editor. You wont deliver a solid peoce pf speculative fiction to whoever the fuck published The Hunger Games. Know our scene.
