People who live in SF hate everything though.

Some of them pretty much do, and they are certainly vocal about it!

This is certainly true, but doesn't mean that they aren't hugely popular [1]. We (me with young children) used to call out "Driverless Car" whenever we'd see one, but it is less interesting when you may see 15 over the course of a 2.5 mile, 15 minute drive.

We just shout "Whammo!" but also enjoy them.

They are also widely and openly loved by many people who live in San Francisco.

I bet if you did polling the vast majority of people would either like them or be ambivalent.

That's pretty common for popular tourist attractions generally.
