It's not being elitist, it's just that the anime is actually pretty bad, especially in comparison. People who are turned off or don't like umineko because of the anime would probably never dream of doing so if they read the VN and new how much was missing.
Interesting. I find that I've enjoyed Umineko quite a bit, but I was expecting a simple rehash of Higurasi, which I didn't particularly end up caring about too much. I'll have to look into that.
