>How do these people feel that they were misled?
I think it may be close to your experience, but many, many readers - including me - saw Umineko as a mystery with additional themes, therefore were fuming on the lack of concrete 'answers' - even though it was agreed upon by most, not giving an 'official answer' was a heavy disappointment after we spent so much time and effort to solve the mystery. I mean, imagine Christie or other classics ending the story with 'well I know who the culprit was, let's leave it at that', sure that is hack writing. Add to that how some felt personally attacked by the goats of Ep8 and you have a bombastic outrage ready to spill.
It took me a few years to realize Ryu was criticizing that stance since Ep5, with his clear portrayal of Erika's accusation of Natsuhi as evil, and later repeated more clearly with the Trick ending; he was pointing to us that the mystery is important, but it's not the clou of the story, but merely a tool; that you don't always have to know the full truth, in fact sometimes it would be better if you didn't, and accepted the Golden Truth of magic.
I still disagree with leaving the catbox completely sealed and am glad we got the Rokkenjima-Prime version of events (should've been a part of the Trick ending IMO), but I also understand why it was not included in the original - it would overshadow the message and the Magic ending.
