Well let's dive into it then, shall we?
1. He is friends with war criminals.
2. He thinks that through "good thoughts", you can make dirty water drinkable.
3. He is, and has always been a literal cheater, going way beyond the serving time allowed (yes, the same was true for Nadal, and yes, the referees were also to blame)
4. He got disqualified once for hitting a ballwoman in the throat with a ball.
5. He is an anti-science, village idiot.
6. His family, including his grandparent, mother and father, had all made totally disrespectful interviews about Federer and Nadal, long before he become the winningest, going back like 20 years.
7. He, just like his fans, always whines about not being liked, and has a tendency to act out on the court against the crowd, because they dare to not like him.
8. As a result, he took on this totally fake, "nice guy" persona that tries way, way too hard outside of those moments, where his true personality shines through.
I could honestly go on and on, but it is BAFFLING how his fans don't understand why people generally don't like him, and why he will most definitely be forgotten way quicker than the other 2, despite having better results. GOATness is two-fold, someone wrote it, you have to have the results, but you gotta have "IT", and he just never had, at least to the extent of the other two. It's not just about the results. People literally decided that MJ is the GOAT over Russell who has better results, largely due to his playing style and charisma (and yeah, playing in a different era).
