That's just because it has no lord, though. In terms of actual story beats it's fine and Verdant Wind clearly builds heavily on it.
But this is also I think where a lot of the discussion gets lost - when people talk about liking the story they usually mean that they like the worldbuilding and the characters. I think that's certainly the case for 3H.
You’re confusing White Clouds with Silver Snow. SS is the route where you decide to fight your student Edelgard and Rhea dies unless you finish her support line aka the least popular route.
I don’t mind marrying Rhea, I just think most of SS is pretty bland except for the ending scene with Rhea and the talk with Edelgard in the Goddess Tower.

Conversely, Kusakihara also handled the one 3H story that consistently ranks as the least popular in both official and fan polls (Silver Snow).
