I think it's just that bad metroidvanias are the standard and there arent as many of the good ones as you would think. So the joy of a good one gets pretty hyped. Im not sure its overrated since its a good game and rated at about what that entails just over hyped and concentrated on.

Like rougelites they sorta suffer from being one of the more accessible game types with regards to development time and effort.

I loved the original Hallow Knight but I like platformers like that. I will say though there there has not really been a stand out in the genera as of late which is also contributing to the popularity.
