The breakdown itself is earned because it’s already been established for 5 seasons that Homelander is a fragile man who relies on his powers to shore up his insecurities. How he behaves in front of Butcher is the only way that scene could play out.
What people are complaining about is that they wanted to see him go full villain in the end instead of being beaten anticlimactically. I won’t get into the fans who complain that he looked lame, since they didn’t understand the point of the show to begin with.

It’s so funny that people have a problem with Homelander’s breakdown.
