Sometimes complaining means acknowledging that a problem exists even if you don't know the solution. Pointing out problems is valuable too. On the other and the people[1] who "opt out of cynicism" generally want to live in the "best of the possible world" where problems just disappear if don't look at them.

[1] that I've met and interacted with, of course there's a sampling bias.

Pointing out a few core problems at a few key moments is valuable.

Pointing out every problem, all the time, isn't.

It's a very fine line and not everyone manages to stay on the right side.
