Imagine complaining about a product for a niche audience while they already have a niche product for a hobby. Quite a few people are warhammer 40k fans who also play magic.
I like Star Craft and I like MtG, hell I even dabbled in designing a star craft MtG custom set for fun, but I don't want to see it as an official UB. Same with LotR. I eat strawberry jam and schnitzel, but I wouldn't want to eat it together.
People are allowed to like things separately, that doesn't mean they have to like it combined.
None of this would be a problem if UB was completely separate from the MtG experiene, or at least mitigated if they got the Godzilla treatment. But they didn't. If you want to play a specific card from these decks, because it fits perfectly into one of yours you can't just find an MtG version of it. You're forced to play non-MtG when you want to sit down to play MtG. And even if you decide not to do that, your co-players might join the commander round with their warhammer decks.
Just because you don't care does not mean nobody else is allowed to care. Some people want to play Magic and between secret lairs, godzilla crossovers and UB, Magic is increasingly becoming less-Magic. For some people Magic is starting to lose its appeal and that's a valid thing to complain about.

But this isn't just one product, UB is a series of them to try and make a quick buck by turning Magic into yet another IP train, 'cause apparently you can't have a product anymore, you have to have cross promotional thing to attract some short term buyers.
I bought the MLP promo set, but the difference is those are silver border cards and aren't really meant for normal play. I don't know about you, but I don't need to see Gandalf wielding the nail bat from Walking Dead while crewing spaceship from 40k in Vintage/Legacy.
You have some high hopes if you think anything here other than the basics will see play in Legacy or Vintage.
Give it time. Eventually a card will slip through.
How about we do that when the problem is already obvious? This is like everyone going around for the past two years thinking every set has that one card that broke Vintage because Lurrus existed. Right now, the most likely card to make it into Legacy and/or Vintage is Poxwalkers for being one of those creatures that brings itself back from the graveyard for free, however it is a three-drop that ETBs tapped. If that's the ceiling, then there's nothing to be afraid of for this product in particular.
I wasn't talking about this product but UB as a whole. The argument "these cards aren't designed for vintage" doesn't really fly because none of the cards that broke vintage/legacy were designed to do that. They were often mistakes or oversights.
