The context is severely missing. Because throughput the previous seasons, Dev-Sona have been crazy in love with each other. They had some terrible terrible fights, but even through those, they were very much into each other. They never moved on even after being apart for 7 years. So much bitterness, distance, betrayal, misunderstanding...but even at their lowest, they were madly in love. That's how the previous seasons were and that is how the audience left them.
So for them to come back with so much distance is weird. The audience lacks context, the reason, especially since they have been together for a very short time since their reunion. How can two people so much in love just drift apart? It's hard to empathize.
The makers should have started the season with the context, how they are drifting away, how things are progressing, so the viewers can travel on that journey with them, have the context and thus root for them and their relationship.
Right now, it's ridiculous. 3 months of dating, breakup, married for a few months, separated for 7 years, reunited for a couple years and have major emotional distance due to communication gaps. This is such nonsense. Especially since the foundation of their whole relationship was communication. They talked for hours. And after their separation and reunion, they were especially particular about communication.
