Why is the Aquatic Ape Theory met with so much criticism unlike all the other theories surrounding our early ancestors?

Just read about the AAT and how it’s surrounded with all this criticism. Why haven’t there been critiques of other theories like this one? Is it that hard to believe?

Mostly because it’s not supported by any evidence (most of the early hominid remains come from dry savannah areas) and it doesn’t explain anything that isn’t already explained by other things.

That’s not to say it’s impossible, or possible that it played some role in our development.
