I have a different sense to what makes a game feel d&d - has races..check..has magic..check..has classes
Since it would seem that every game from Heretic to Heroes of Might and Magic feels like playing D&d to you, it's understandable why you wouldn't understand the complaint. Don't get me wrong - that's also valid, sure... but it's worth about as much credence as a deaf person saying that they like enjoying the music and don't understand why other people are complaining that the instruments need tuning.
