[Star Wars Canon] What are legitimate reasons the Separatists were rightfully mad at the Republic for?

I think it was mostly due to an unequal treatment/services provided around the galaxy (inner rim gets more focus, mid rim/outer rim gets little to none), lack of protection, corruption, general lack of competency. The crisis on Naboo in TPM was engineered by palpatine to demonstrate just this - the republic saw a planet being held hostage and they sat around doing virtually nothing until Queen Amidala spoke and the Jedi intervened. It was the republics job to provide for its member planets and it was woefully slow to aid the planet in any meaningful way.
