Why don’t people like the ARV over other PCCs?

I am looking to pick up an ARV 7in or AP5 as my one and done PDW. I’ve done a lot of research on which PCC to choose and people seem to pretty much all hate the PSA ARV. Why?

It’s all aluminum, 7inch barrel is a good middle ground, comes with a 300$ brace, pic rail, tri-lug, etc. I get it’s a direct blowback, but is it really that bad? Can it be minimized at all?

I would tend to think the MP5/AP5 and the ARV are on opposite ends of the spectrum on recoil, but does it really make that much of a difference where just about all else should be overlooked?

As always all discussion and advice is appreciated much.

Edit: I don’t have any mags of any kind, so that isn’t really a factor to me, other than mag reliability.
