In my opinion Dune is the greatest science fiction series of all time and everyone should read all six books but I can see why people would get filtered at certain points. Hell some people don't even like Messiah because Paul rejects the golden path and runs away from his destiny. They don't like it when the hero is revealed to have clay feet, and anything more complex than "good guys win, bad guys lose" repels them.
The worst part imo about Brian Herbert's books is that he blatantly ignored Frank's description of the Butlerian Jihad as being about people getting oppressed by other people using machines, and made it instead about AI oppressing humanity. Marthy and Daniel were also clearly face dancers in Chapterhouse.
What I did like about them was the revival of old characters, since it was teased in Chapterhouse , and the revelation that Duncan was set up by Leto to be the ultimate Kwisatz Haderach (That merging with the AI was fucking gay though)
