I read Azula's downfall as family issues. The catalyst might be Mai and Ty Lee betraying her, but the root is Ozai and Ursa (faceless as they may be)- you can see her reaction when her dad basically dismissed her in the finale.
The popular opinion is there because it gives more reason for Dangerous Ladies femmeslash (mostly for Azula/Ty Lee, if I'm not mistaken).
Also, you know Zuko's scar? That is not a symbol of Zuko and Katara's love and when Zuko looks at it he's not going to think about saving Katara; he's going to think about how two of the four members of his family have tried to kill him. Ah, yes. Agreed.
Ozai as the faceless villain is one reason I don't find his last stand against Aang as epic as I find Zuko's and Azula's.
