This is not about 'wanting Piper to suffer', or this has nothing to do with wanting 'bad things happen to her'. That's not the point.

This is about Piper is finally gets an actual and a real character development and personality. That's the point.

Why do you think most of the people do not like Piper? Because, the reason is, she was lack of character development and personality. So, it's not so much a surprise to see people do not like her. Piper was one the most underdeveloped characters in the series, even if she had at least 5 books to being developed. But she didn't really get an actual development and personality, even in the end of the series.

And, I liked to see Piper gets an actual character development in this book. She felt like a real character who has an actual personality, first time.
