Why is there so much hate towards Alpha Bravo, but people are perfectly fine with Powerglide being an Aerialbot, when he wasn't an Aerialbot back in the day?
I don't consider Powerglide an Aerialbot, though. It's much easier to ignore Powerglide as a gun and supposed Aerialbot since he's not making a limb or anything else integral to Superion. He's an extra, not taking anyone's place, and a fairly popular existing G1 character in his own right.
But with Alpha Bravo, unless you got in on the non mass retail Quickslinger, you're stuck with AB sitting there taunting you with his presence as not Slingshot, if you're a Slingshot/proper G1 Superion fan.
Some people don't care. Good for them. Others of us do. We have as much right to our opinion of AB as anyone else. For me, he's just part of Ultra Prime's motley crew of random misfits that don't fit else where (for now mainly that means he serves as stilts along with Off Road for Optimus while Huffer shields his chest and Bombshell attaches to his gun, meanwhile, he's just got stubby little OP arms... LOL)

I mean why was he a Combaticon? Are space shuttles combat vehicles?
They launch military satellites, I guess.
Aren't astronauts part of the military somehow? Major Nelson and Major Healy were astronauts and in the military anyway, good enough for me.
