The "satanic" part is mostly due to replacing Times New Roman as a "standard" in many (corporate, goverment) settings.

The biggest flaws technically are the bizarre sans-serif terminations, especially on "C" and "a"

are the technical "flaws" an aesthetic judgment you are making or is there some rigor to this?

there is some rigor to aesthetics, believe it or not, e.g. the golden ratio is a mathematical constant. In this case the "rigor" is consistency of form

Various other specimens I've seen make the upper part of the "a" look way more unbalanced, but this specimen still shows how the rounded terminations (and rounded square dots on the i and j, blech) totally clash with the raw angles of the intersections e.g. on "k"

The italics look fine imo, because the right angles are removed

Infinitely more versatile than Calibri, but not as good as a serif font for body text.
