I wonder if our popular culture has basically conditioned us to distrust community in general, and so we automatically have a visceral reaction whenever it’s portrayed in a highly positive light. Or really, portraying almost anything in a highly positive light is viewed with distrust. We’re a culture of jaded cynics now. An attitude probably incompatible with community.

Or maybe people reach those conclusions on their own! Does it have to be that they were "conditioned" to them, or can they have agency?

Well, what other people alluded to was the performant part. That's also salient in some Black Mirror episodes now that I think about it.
While it is a first impression, it's just a first impression.
