"Important" means something important that I like. "Controversial" means something important that I don't like.

Writing "controversial" makes the reader think something is bad while helping the author avoid the chore of giving any actual reasons for their opinion.

Yes, I speak English. The point is not how "controversy" should be used, it's about how "controversy" is commonly abused for rhetorical purposes.
