Any Iraqis here are free to correct me, but I wasn’t under the impression the coup was a celebrated event?

The resulting parade of dictators left a trail of blood that Iraq is still reeling from to this day, and almost every Iraqi I know curses the day the monarchy was toppled. https://twitter.com/AssyrianSR/status/1282703038411489280
I’m not very knowledgeable tho, and I know the monarchy was responsible for massacres of its own (especially the Simele) but seeing how stable and politically moderate neighboring Jordan is under the Hashemites, I wonder why the coup would be looked at favorably?
Eg: this thread and the replies to it, though a minority, seem to indicate a general Iraqi consensus about the subject. If I’m wrong of course please do tell me! https://twitter.com/RashaAlAqeedi/status/1282856242839511047?s=20
