Why is that a problem? The whole point is to make the viewer laugh and mock them for comedy.

Because I don't believe in mocking people for their personal shortcomings.

I also think a fundamental principle of good drama is that it should have a protagonist that you can root for even if they are flawed. (Frasier is a good example.) None of Seinfeld's characters had any redeeming qualities whatsoever.

Whoa, you don’t believe in mocking people for their behaviour?
That is not what I said.
