WWE has booked poorly for years and it takes an overwhelming amount of talent to, well, overwhelm that. Styles happens to have that exact amount of talent. Reigns is their guy and they put proportionally a crazy amount of time, effort, and thought into making him the number one babyface—a captivating protagonist that makes people want to see him wrestle—and they can’t do it. I think spiteful booking certainly exists but honestly it’s just a company that is bad at its (at this point) tertiary job of storytelling. It’s just a thing this company is not good at almost all of the time, to the point where even when they are get it right, it’s difficult to not just feel dread about when the other shoe will drop. Its primary goal is to produce content for money and they’re at a point where that content’s quality (according to two loving billion dollars) doesn’t really matter as long as it’s live. They’ve lost the onus to produce good stories because they don’t need stars to draw money, and if they don’t need stars, then they don’t need good stories for those stars. NXT has good storytelling frequently but also suffers from like the black hole aspect of the main roster. Like, when will my favorite be pulled in and torn apart by the singularity? Ahhhhh
