I don't think they're criticizing the message itself, just the fact that such a message was needed.
Given the human condition I think you will need "milk" type messages continually. Perhaps the criticism should be "why the milk?" But rather "why milk all the time, and seldom any meat?"
I got fired from a church because I came to be known as a "Bible Teacher" and for my "meaty" messages. People clamored the pastor to have me preach more and he took it personally - so I had to go. He preached for months after that about how the congregation wasn't ready for meat and complained that they still needed milk. Of course, if he was right- the church's shabby condition was his own fault.
