I'm not saying I absolutely hate them. Some of their tunes were catchy, they had some good licks but to me it was just pop rock. From day 1 it was targeted for main stream consumption, had a slight edge, but still very safe.
Lastly they whined and complained about what critics and fans said all the time. Punk is an attitude not just a genre - Axl Rose was punk rock. Liam Gallagher was punk rock - regardless of what you'd call their music styles.

If you said Axl Rose and Liam Gallagher were "punks" I would agree with you. But they are not "Punk Rock." Plain and simple: they are not a music genre.
