Hey, you and me both.
Though I think disdain is kind of a strong way to put it. It's not like I'm really opposed to idol stuff in principle, I mean, I've watched Love Live, some Im@s, and generally enjoyed it...what I do tend to dislike is having idol shit thrown into shows at random and having it overtake the narrative, be it as a whole or momentarily, when that isn't what the show is actually supposed to be about.
...which, well, should,
in theory
, apply to Appmon as well, but it's just...Eri. I think I mentioned this in this thread before (like...17 episodes ago? jeez, time does fly...), but I really do like her. I like that while yes, she's an idol, she's also just kind of this big weird dork trying to push a forceful persona at the same time. I didn't expect much from her before she debuted, as I was expecting her to be either a generic tsundere or tomboy or a standard issue idol girl. But she's not really quite any of those things. She has elements of all those things, but she's not just any one of them.
To me she just feels like one of the more...real? characters? Like...Haru, Astra, Rei...to me they all just feel super tropey and archetypal. Astra perhaps less so in his better moments, but those are far and few in between. Not that I really have anything against these guys either, but in contrast to them, Eri feels like she has something resembling an actual multifaceted personality.
...but you know, I dunno. Honestly, maybe I'm just crazy/projecting/both. Whatever the case...I do tend to enjoy her focus episodes more.
But as you say, it's pretty middling overall.
