I'm sure that not everyone who likes Dragonball Z likes Goku, just as not everyone who likes Star Wars likes Luke/Anakin/Vadar/etc.
Based on the poll at the moment, 9% of us don't like Abe and probably wouldn't care if Abe suddenly disappeared from the next few games. I must admit that the reason I like Oddworld so much is probably the Sligs. They are just so darn lovable, when they aren't trying to shoot you.
They even say 'Hi' to Abe if you say 'Hello' to them! How nice!
Anyway, Abe is a crucial character, but he's not the one and only saviour.
Stranger's Wrath proved that a game without Abe can work.
