Affinity/aversion to specific design templates is a personal thing. However, I think material design was promoted so much mostly as a result of Google's original design philosophies of keeping their web UX as clean, readable and clutter-free as possible, even at the cost of aesthetics and clarity. If you think about it Google has been against the old Web 1 frilly design styles right from the beginning - the original Google search home page is still almost the same as what it is today.
