Or on the other hand it could be that to achieve that mainstream status the band have watered down their sound so much and compromised what it was that was good about them in the first place making those criticisms perfectly justified

Well anything is possible, but not all bands have to change to appease the mainstream audience. I'll assume that you comprehend what I'm saying and have just chosen to play Devil's Advocate.

Well anyband that is willing to change everything just to hit it big is most likely not worth listening to in the first place.
