Academic papers should be neutral when dissing previous work imo.

"[Previous work] is just bad [previous other work]" isn't a professional way to talk about the merits and drawbacks of competing approaches, but boy does it get tiktok views!

Better work stands on its own merits. No need to explicitly shit on the competition in the title/abstract.
