Tbh, I think that’s the real reason so much of fandom hates the Ric storyline, and not just Nightwing stans.

Because any other amnesia storyline - such as the many, many amnesia stories written in Batfandom over the years - REVOLVES around a character’s friends and families WORKING towards wanting that character to remember or at least want to know them or be around them....or else revolves around that character seeing them suffering or hurting because they’ve forgotten them and are trying to stay away for that character’s sake and not hold them back or anything.

And of course, either of those possibilities require the rest of the Batfamily putting Dick/Ric and how much he matters to these characters front and center, and as we’ve clearly established...fandom doesn’t like doing that, because Dick is boring, he’s too noble, too pure, too virtuous, too perfect, too wholesome, too sunshiney, too light-hearted, too happy, too non-traumatized....even, apparently, in stories where he very explicitly is none of those things and his being none of those things is now what’s being cited as the reason he sucks and needs to go away.
