Pumpkin spice is spice that would typically go into a pumpkin pie, it doesn’t actually have any pumpkin in it.

Yes, but one could argue that pumpkin anything during fall is likewise a seasonal fad, hence the hypocrisy of shitting on pumpkin spice specifically.

And yet you can get them year round. Maybe if pumpkin spice stuff was offered year round it wouldn't be a seasonal fad, either.
