No offense, but this is kind of a silly argument. Different people play games for different reasons. Just because this wasn't one of those reasons for you doesn't mean it wasn't for others. People are making a big deal out of it because to them it was an important feature. Before, this was something you could do if you wanted and leave alone if you didn't. That choice doesn't exist anymore.

What if Sw/Sh had a full national dex, but there was no method to obtain, say, any Gen 5 Pokemon? There was no method to transfer them across, there was no area in the game where they would appear, and no trainers offered them for trade.
There would be literally no possible way to get any of the 151 Unova Pokemon, even if their data was present.
This issue is just where the line has to be drawn for by the devs. My all time favorite Pokemon is currently Primarina. A starter. Unless it's X/Y giving you a Kanto starter for free, you only get one, and unless there's some post game content that allows it, that's your lot. Primarina
isn't
going to be in Sw/Sh. And even with a nat dex, she wouldn't become available unless there's some stupid ass gamestop event. How do you think I feel, knowing that my current all time favorite Pokemon will never be available for some time, and a national dex won't change that? I'm shit out of luck regardless.
I'm not sure what the point of these hypotheticals is. If the Gen 5 Pokemon were in the game code, there would be a way to get them in, it's called Pokemon Home, a service we knew was coming before they even told us they were cutting Pokemon. Having all the Pokemon in the game and Pokemon Home existing are not mutually exclusive.
Same thing with Primarina. Yeah, maybe the starters wouldn't be available normally in the game, but you wouldn't even have to rely on events or anything of the sort. You could easily transfer them in. Even if you personally wouldn't, anyone else who wanted to could. You could trade with friends, the GTS, anything really. You would be the furthest thing from shit out of luck if you wanted to see Primarina on the Switch.
You probably unequivocally are now, though, since nobody could do that even if they wanted.

Not sure where boycotts fit into the entitlement angle. To be clear here, it's not like the Pokemon company is entitled to our money either. Not buying a game because you don't like how it's shaping up isn't being entitled, it's pretty much just normal.
