Yeah, I've had it for years and never got super far (well beyond the beginning, but not to the really late stuff). It never clicked for me like Factorio has. Satisfactory is a factory game, but I'd say the biggest thing is it's an architecture game first. The factory is the reason to build cool buildings, but building is the primary focus of the game. If you don't like that then you won't enjoy it probably.
I can definitely see the appeal of the game, and I've gotten enjoyment out of it. The biggest hurdle for me personally is how long it takes to make things. In Factorio even early game I can plop down stuff from the overhead view very quickly and get something running. Then once you have bots you can just set down a blueprint and it'll be done in a few seconds. Satisfactory you can't do this. Even the blueprints are pretty small and can't have connections automatically link between them, so it'll always be slower. I just wish the process of building was streamlined, because I love factory games and I like the concept of the game. I just can't actually enjoy playing it for long.
