Yet the consensus is that he’s a top tier rapper and lyricist in our day and age, and most of his albums are generally seen as enjoyable from start to finish. What do we learn from this? Why is there such a gap between the critics and the hip hop community?

Hip hop community likes Post Malone

Yeah but he’s not considered a great rapper unlike Cole.

Cole’s ideas are too simplistic for the critics yet the masses relate to them heavily.

First and foremost what do you mean "y'all"? KTT isn't a collective, each individual has his/her own perspective.

Because he hasn't lived up to the potential he showed on his mixtapes. Granted I still enjoy all his albums besides born sinner there's always a feeling that he could do better so the bar is set higher for him than other artists

Critics aren't tastemakers anyway, don't nobody care

You're running in circles bc of your personal disdain to Cole. Post Malone is successful bc of his singles - they're catchy. Whereas Cole is successful due to his albums and rapping ability/writing.
