This is kind of baffling, if I’m being honest. What exactly is your baseline for what a Godzilla movie “needs to do”?
That being said, I agree that it gets a bit more hate than it probably deserve…but not by much. There are a couple fun sequences, I particularly always liked the Madison Square Garden raptor baby Zilla bit, even if it has no business being in a Godzilla movie.
That’s really what it comes down to. It’s a passible Roland Emmerich popcorn flick at best, but it’s a terrible Godzilla movie.
I think the 98 Godzilla was unfairly maligned. It did everything I needed a Godzilla movie to do, and it didn’t take itself too seriously. Solid film.

In my opinion, the best Godzilla movie was Shin Godzilla (I’ve heard Godzilla Minus One is GOAT but I haven’t seen it yet).
What made Godzilla interesting was the subtext.
Godzilla outside of Japan doesn’t make a lot of sense. Godzilla is explicitly a walking nuclear bomb.
In Shin Godzilla, Godzilla is defeated by a competent government, a fantasy we can all enjoy.
Wrong. No mothra.
Also, Jean Reno and three voice actors from The Simpsons.
