I understand the rage, and I felt it too, but that was the point.

you were supposed to hate Abby as both the player and Ellie, and when you started playing as Abby, be like, "I've got to play as this -----!?"

and whether that hate, outrage stayed throughout the game, is up to the player, but we should have gotten some understanding about her from it.

but just because the story is structured in a way that we might not like, it doesn't mean that it's poorly written, or anything like that.

I think you have to realize that there's nothing forcing the player to continue playing the game after an event like that. I know I had a similar moment with MGS2 wondering when the hell it's going to let me play as Snake again. I wound up dropping the game (and the series) once I realized it wasn't going to happen.
