I think it is because some people have a concern over the spread of COVID-19, and are accepting that govt. requirements are in place to tackle this. The associated criticism of MSV is that they appear to have tried to circumvent this, or blatantly ignored it, in the hope of making a profit from ticket sales.

I wouldn't criticise them from a business perspective - their purpose is to make money. It's more about acting in a way that appears to increase the risk to Public Health, or bend rules to achieve their aims.

Take the reporter on ITV who explained a way to get around the Spain to UK travel restriction and avoid quarantine. He may have been explaining a situation that people would like to benefit from personally, but the general consensus seemed to be that it was just undermining the collective efforts to control the virus.
