Nothing except they really fucked off George Lucas.

IIRC George Lucas went even more into hardline light and dark side because he disagreed with KOTOR 1 and 2's take so strongly.

Mostly that they're a false dichotomy.

The same as with most EU human-centric Force traditions.
They encourage thinking of Force powers as Spells.

They are objectively wrong according to the rules of the setting. The dark side is cartoonishly evil and the light side is the natural state of the universe according to everything we see in the movies.

They are no better rhan necromancers in a setting where creating undead janks people from the afterlife to torture them, yet claim all that matters is what you do with the undeads.

Everything, because even if the force was a double-sided unity rather than two separate things, you still have to pick a side. "Grey Jedi" either means a reject from the formal institutions or someone who's poorly or partially trained so that they can't understand which side is which.

At least in KOTOR, party unlocks were based solely on their light/dark side points. So if you played the middle, they never advanced.

Because grey jedi are played by contrarians, who want to have their cake and eat it too. "I want to shoot lightning and torture people, and abuse the Force, but I won't be a bad guy because of it".

Your average grey jedi player spouts all the same nonsense - the jedi are corrupt, stupid and weak, and never get laid, and I don't want my character to be one of them. The fact that not all jedi are the same somehow totally escapes their mind.

"Emotionless sociopathic robot" is a meme, not an actual depiction of the jedi... Well, anywhere.

>They encourage thinking of Force powers as Spells.
Bingo.

Muh Must pick a side
