I mean, I don't mind it because I am at a point where I don't need the main character to talk all the time. Some of my favorite games are games that feature silent Protagonists. Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger, Zelda, Pokemon, etc. and they explore storytelling in a different light. I know people shove off the idea that the blank slate is for us to emote to, but I uphold that idea. It's easier for me to connect with narratives without having to think the set way that the protagonist thinks.
Now don't get me wrong, I love character arcs when they're done correctly, but I do prefer silent protagonists in my games these days. If you would have asked me a decade ago, eh, you may have gotten a different answer.
