Why are the Ptolemaioi such a hated faction?

[seleucid empire]

i am biased towards arche seleukia so naturally i dislike them. Its also to do with the fact that:
1. They have a typical successor roster with worse units. Only their galatians and elite pikemen are great. For some reason their expensive agema unit always does nothing for me
2. They spam elite pikemen
3. They conquer the world due to good starting position and only one enemy and i love the underdogs. In EB AS is something of an underdog, because despite their large territory no other faction has to face 4-5 enemies straight away and pressing from every single direction
4. On VH/M their campaign becomes a nightmare due to large rebel stacks besieging cities down south which take SOOO long to get to
5. I hate seeing yellow death no matter which faction I play. I always help Seleucids if im rich enough. No matter what faction I am i will send an army on some ships and take alexandria, sack it and give to AS with a money gift. I then send the stack to reconquer Antioch for the AS and all of Syria and down to Jerusalem. I sack every city and give all the profits to the AS
6. Historically Ptolemies would have been wiped out by Antiochus IV but they went and begged the Romans for help like any common coward. If they had just accepted the fact that the AS were better than them then the Seleucids would have the wealth of Egypt and Greeks would have ruled the east instead of the Romans
