Which would explain why they're all on something lol

Most of the strength workouts are linear progression, bench, squat, DL and cleans.
I've been working out a long time, but until you do CF, you will not understand. I don't do all of the lifts for various reasons. A few summers ago I was doing CF 2-3 times a week and regular lifting the other 2-3. No I wasn't in the best shape of my life, but I'm 47, but I was in the best shape I had been in 20 years. At my age it's a great supplement to regular work, I do what I can and work around what I can't, it's great for me!

What do you mean "you will not understand?" I understand how it works. I know how the good gyms do actual programming followed by conditioning. That still doesn't mean that high-rep Olympic lifts are a good thing. But not all gyms do this. I get it.
I would suspect that most of the hate toward Crossfit is directed at the "My warmup is your workout" crowd bullshit and those that praise rhabdo as a good thing. Fortunately, I think this has gotten severely watered down simply as a matter of the numbers of participants in Crossfit has risen. Less stupidity per capita.
