Not just Arsenal, Superboy as well. In my opinion it comes down to La'gann looking ugly, people find him easier to hate, less easy to relate to and empathise with.

With Arsenal, he's basically Mr Puberty. Nobody understands what he's been going through, "Screw You Parental Figures", I'm going skateboardin with my homies, Lazors and guns and missile launchers and..., "My screwups and lack of planning ahead worked out didn't they?".

With Superboy, quiet loner with anger issues. And, Hot, for the fairer sex.

Nobody on Earth uses Atlantean Slang (until La'gann came around at least), look like the creature of black lagoon, while very few would have lived as the replacement boyfriend or have been betrayed by their heroes, So, they can't relate to his personality, can't enjoy his appearances, dislike him unjustly forever.
