Just silly NIMBYism, as if we can't build anything in Midtown anymore, not even super skinny slivers, just bc an iconic building was built 100 years ago. If the NIMBYs were around back then, there wouldn't even be an ESB to protect, as ESB replaced the gorgeous original Waldorf Astoria.

You're welcome to the [unpopular but legitimate] subjective opinion that the overall view is enhanced. But the original, stated supposition that it only "
somewhat blocks the view or damages the view
from the Flatiron of the ESB" is patently false. And this is true no matter what percentage volume of the ESB it is because of a very real physical property of our reality called parallax.
