I am clearly the only person that enjoyed this movie.

I didn't mind it in isolation, but it really didn't respect Tron Legacy.

And it was completely unambitious in exploring the implications of AI coming to life and existing in the real world, their experiences, etc.

Which very much could have happened had they followed up on Tron Legacy

I guess I'd sum it up as a coherent, but forgettable spectacle

I guess it's really hard to write a sequel to Tron Legacy. Quorra came to life, then what? They're supposed to change the world. How? With a Q&A site? (Sorry I can't help myself with this dumb joke.)

Most people who wanted to see more Tron in the theaters were the ones who liked Tron Legacy (or, less common, Tron Uprising). And the more came out about Tron Ares, the clearer that it was barely a sequel to that.
