What's your point? Braid is a vasly more ambitious concept, with complex puzzles, unusual-yet-intuitive game mechanics, and very elaborate visual design, as opposed to a quickie game like Flappy Bird.
And again, I don't think anyone hates Flappy Bird because it has green pipes, they hate it mainly because it's addictive without really being satisfying.
A quick google image search of Jonathan Blow’s Braid can not only reveal that the indie darling also uses green pipes, but also uses analogues, very obvious references, to Mario’s enemies, mechanics, and story line.
