The problem is not marketing. The problem is deceptive, invasive marketing.
As soon as a customer has made a choice between two suppliers, then any marketing for the other one will be considered invasive. By definition it isn't wanted because the customer chose not to use that supplier. Consequently any marketing will always be seen as invasive by some people, unless the market is a monopoly, and therefore all marketing is problematic (or "evil").
