Is KOF an anime game then? He's not very popular among the "Airdasher" community. But it's 2D, how could it not be ANIMU!?
I. Anime games are mostly NEW
Back then, in the 90's, people had fewer fgames to play. You could either go Capcom or SNK basically. SNK produced shitton of games mind you.
Before Guilty Gear even mattered (GGX launched in 2000), Street Fighter, Marvel vs Capcom and KOF had already a large fanbase. GG was basically the black sheep. Only players who had enough of mainstream games or new players could get into it.
II. Distinct Style
They're not all 2D. Couldn't DBZ, Naruto, One Piece or Bleach be considered Anime games? They're based off Animes!
Well, yeah but only if they were meaningful games. Sorry fans, but these games are made with Story and Marketing in mind, not proper competition.
Keeping that in mind, mostly 2d games are made by "I've never heard" companies and distributed by known ones. More over, you get all these shining gauges, good amount of fanservice and sparkling combos.
Why do people hate them?
When everyone in your family have been playing the same game for centuries and as well as everyone else, it's natural to pick on the new kid.
This is starting to change however, as ASW has started to move. By making new games, you can attract new players and veterans who're tired of their current game. P4U worked like a sacrifice to promote Blazblue, just as Blazblue to promote Guilty Gear.
That is a possible answer of why GGXXX is not out yet.
