Most recent one I've seen is with No Way Home regarding the appearances of past actors.

I've also seen it in regards to Joker in The Dark Knight

yea, in cases like that, it's a dumb point to make, since part of the story is dedicated to those elements/characters.

without them, it'd be a different story.

One of the criticisms I have of No Way Home is that it leans too much on the assumption that people will know and recognise characters from two different series of Spidermen movies. My wife had never seen any of the Maguire or Garfield movies when we watched No Way Home and so a lot of the film just fell really flat for her. They relied too much on references to past movies.

If you took out the X from X-Men they would just be men. Regular, boring men.

It's not a good criticism but it's worth having a discussion around

For instance with these two, TDK is elevated from a good movie into one of the best CBMs because of the Joker. It's worth talking about how it turned an otherwise decent movie into a movie that still holds up 15 years later.
NWH goes from your bog standard comic flick to a decent one that relies on nostalgia. It's worth talking about how it's not that good of a movie without those things and only barely counts as the best of Phase 4 due to the guest characters being so well done.

Home Alone 2 would like a word.

If you took out the No in No Country For Old Men, it becomes a Country For Old Men

Along with the criticism listed in the OP I also find

"Nobody asked for this"
and
"Who is this for?"

to be mind-numbingly stupid criticisms

They could have toned it down a little and just given us Something Somewhere Over a Period of Time.
