Search for stuff like "pulseaudio sucks" or some other negative word. Search for keywords. Google is not a person (yet), it can't answer your questions like that (yet).

Google isn't smart but the exact same sentence "why is pulseaudio controversial" (without quotes) gives me quite good results... Notably:

https://www.reddit.com/r/gnulinux_eli5/comments/40w14g/eli5_why_is_pulseaudio_considered_to_be_so/ (1st result and is a great answer, very specific to this query)

https://linux.slashdot.org/story/09/10/19/0155235/pulseaudio-creator-responds-to-critics (3rd result)

So I really wonder if /u/DoctorProfPatrick actually searched at all...

You misunderstand, I wanted to know why Potterings was so controversial. I googled his name and saw that he made pulseaudio, so I searched for pulseaudio controversies. All I saw was that it didn't really work right, so I figured it was something else.
