Ah, the age old “if X is a departure from Y, it’s a terrible Y”. In a universe where series never deviated from the standard formula, we would still be playing first generation Resident Evil, and there would be no Breath of the Wild. Infinite is, IMHO an excellent game in its own right, and it actually does something excellent for the series: it proves that the potential for a Bioshock game is nearly…infinite (SNS). Locations and gameplay are limited only by the imagination of the devs. Also, I love Rapture, but we had already spent two games there by that point.
I really like Columbia too, and the idea of where the series will go next probably intrigues a lot of us (though it will be a challenge to live up to almost a decade of anticipation). I don’t care whether Infinite is the third game or a spinoff, but I’m glad it exists.
