The problem was never really the amount of CGI destruction. They might have cut down on it but that wasn't what people were really complaining about. In both films, the destruction was cool but shallow.
If Batman during the Doomsday fight had been trying to save people while Wonder Woman and Superman fought Doomsday off, that would have started to address concerns.
People don't just want to see Superman beat up bad guys. They want to see him save us from bad guys. And even the little saving that was in the movie? All gloom.
