Its because they are so popular and wear masks. They`re nowhere near as bad as people think, their sound is certainly monotonous (too drum heavy and little variety) but they`re a hell of a lot better than say Mudvayne, another gimmicky style metal act.
I could probably name dozens of better metal acts than Slipknot, but almost equally, I could name a lot of inferior metal acts as well.
