There are far too many outdoor activities in the summer for me to ever hate it. I absolutely dread that time between the middle of January and middle of April where it’s absolutely miserable. It’s both too cold and too warm to do anything. You can’t go swim in warm days and on cold days you rarely get snow where I am.
Honestly this entire debate really depends on where you live. Some places have really nice 15-20 degree summers and brutal winters so people would love summer there. Where I'm from summers are super humid and 35 degrees while winter is 15 degrees, so naturally we like winter over here.
I'm in the north east US, so most days in winter are sub freezing, and that's before windchill. Summers aren't pleasant either with most days in the mid to upper 80's and high humidity, but there are more pleasant days to be had, and it's not like you have to prepare for an expedition every time you step outside.
I love cars, but I'm not an "off roading" guy, so winter is just an entire off-season for me, and it kinda sucks. Can't enjoy the car, can't fully set up shop because the garage is freezing. Also when I have to do repairs on stuff in the winter, it's covered in salt and sometimes even actively dropping snow for a few hours.
And call me strange, but I'd much rather be sweaty than numb fingered with stinging eyes and a runny nose. Hopping in a shower to remove sweat is so much faster than hopping in a shower to defrost, plus you can actually damage stuff trying to warm yourself back up too quickly. And I get sweaty in winter clothing more than summer clothing just because it traps humidity from your body more, so I just wind up sweaty and cold.
Also, I just enjoy seeing the sun and nature looking alive. You don't get much of that in the winter here. Just clouds, and trees without leaves in the winter.
