A lot of it comes from him essentially ticking a lot of boxes when it comes to audiences, he's the geek it's OK to like, without the off putting dorkiness of Joss Whedon, the accessibility of Spielberg and the charm of Edgar Wright.
It may be cynical, but when he picks a target audience, he caters to them quite unreservedly, I suppose that endears him to the fanboys, while his Spielberg aspirations give him broader appeal.
