It's crazy because every year we're told we have a Superbowl team

At face value OP thinks he has a point but when you break it down, he really doesn’t. So let’s look at this. Of the 12 that have never won, you only have one team that is a perennial winner (Vikings). But even the Vikings have multiple NFCCG appearances since Dallas last appeared.
The others are either the who’s who of losing franchises in NFL history (Falcons*+, Cardinals*+, Bengals*+, Lions+, Chargers+, Titans*+, Bills+)
Or the most recent expansion teams (Panthers*+, Browns, Texans, Jags+).
Of those 12, 6* have made it to the Super Bowl at least once and only 2+ have NOT made it to their conference championship game at least once since Dallas last did.
Then you have 6 teams that have won the SB but have longer droughts than Dallas. Of those, 4 (Jets+, Raiders*+, Bears*+, Commanders) have been total dumpster fires of organizations of the last 30+ years. Even so, only the Commanders don’t have a SB* or CCG+ appearance since Dallas last did.
You have the 49ers who since Dallas last won the SB has 3 SB appearances and 8 NFCCG appearances.
Which leads to the only fanbase that has a bigger right to complain than Dallas: The Miami Dolphins. Their gripes are about 11 years longer than ours.

The OP's point is that it's very difficult to get to, much less win a SB.
Why all the vitriol?

The Cowboys fan base is more important to the survival of the
NFL than the others.

Mediocrity my friend, Mediocrity. The fan base not only loves it, they defend it.
What else isnt the OP adding to the argument, why "Dallas hasnt been relevant in all that time" "But the playoffs"? they will argue, "sure sure, a few one and dones, but who takes tahte serious besides our fans?" no one, dats who. Who respects a team that hits the bottom of relevancy? Only our fans who defend mediocrity and havent known we used to have high standards.
Riddle me this Bat OP, name another franchise to fire not 1 SB winning head coach, not 2, but 3?

No one likes it or defends it imo. Just facing the reality of this situation we’ve chosen to be in.

None of us, including the OP, are happy about the lack of success since January of '96, but it's absolute elitism to think we 'deserve' a 6th SB before other teams get their 1st. Of course we all want that, but since it's not in the cards, it'd be much healthier to accept the fact that we're not always going to be one of the best teams.

Yeah but our owner says the best is yet to come for Zeke and we're saving him for that Super Bowl run

You do realize SF has been to the NFCCG 7 times since 2000 (4 times just in the past 5 years) and have played in the super bowl 3 times in the past 11 years? Sure, they haven't won it all for a very long time, but they have been a hell of a lot closer than the Jerry boys. And like post #16 just said, none of those 12 teams has been saddled with the worst GM in professional sports for the past 28 years.

It happens every day. No one comes out and says it quite like that, but defending the Dak resigning, for example, because he has the ability to beat up on dog teams in the regular season is what? It's defending mediocrity.

Nah, you only catch Hell if you choose it. I understand it all, and not one of those whiney crying, complaining fans, that are a prisoner of the moment, letting the media lead them around by the nose.
