I don't hate this canon, but I don't like much after the first three games.
I honestly wish Phoenix hadn't been in Apollo Justice at all. Apollo got no backstory because it was still the Phoenix Wright show, but in a different way - a way that still makes no sense to me. Given everything we saw and learned in the first three games, it seems weird that he would have ended up where he is. Yeah, seven years is a long time etc etc, but it felt like he lost a lot of his conviction, and with it the things that made him, well, Phoenix. I don't know. It just bothers me.
Apollo Justice felt like it was missing the heart that I loved so much about the first three games. That's what it boils down to, I think.
/old argument is old but anon needed to get it off their chest
mini rant
