To me it's because it seemed the payoff was snatched from them. All the subplots were about the crew working together in their own ways to work towards finding Michael. But getting the engines up, fixing comms, and getting the ship out of parasitic ice seems less drastic if Michael swoops in and does all that for them (yes yes, Discovery's comms are down but Michael is in a much more sophisticated ship which likely could patch through regardless).

Yeah, my only gripe is Burnham in the end because it's a little too quick and convenient, and even overrides their work.
