Why is this book and author so vehemently hated?

I maybe haven't looked enough into Rand as a person which might be where the criticism stems from, but I've read and listened to some interviews of her explanation of Objectivism and of what she was aiming for with the creation of her heroes and it summed up to be an attempt to "worship man".

I think there is very little wrong with wanting to be the best possible "you" you can be, of wanting to be great and doing anything to achieve it.

I can maybe see how someone could think the Fountainhead is a bit juvenile in the "edginess" of Howard Roarkes demeanour, but I still think his ideals are noble and to be admired.

Can someone redpill me on why Rand, her books and objectivism are bad?
