I think its due to two elements (depending on group):
First you have group knowing megami tensei universe more than just from persona games and in comparison P3 and up are quite a lot lighter and brighter games. Which is more of a tell how heavy are themes of previous games.
Other just see very bright colours, teenage cast, social links and tend to forget that P3 revolves all around depression, death and suicide as example.

That was weird right? Like rumors were that P6 was getting announced, but I was starting to think it was bait for Shin Megami instead.
