You don't have to want to be the king to criticize the king. Describing criticism of how God is portrayed as wanting to rule on his throne is overly-dramatic hyperbole at best; more likely a dehumanizing fantasy about how people who disagree with you on this topic think.
People don't criticize God as though they're doing a film review. People criticize God because they disagree with Him, and they disagree with Him because they believe they should have dominion over what they themselves can or cannot do. That's just how our natures work.
To have dominion over God is to tyrannize Him, to force Him to put up with sin. This He will not do.
