[Dune] What was so bad about Leto II's reign?

Apparently he was so malicious that he is forever known as the Tyrant, but I see little textual evidence of his supposed oppressions. I can understand why some of the Big Powers of the Old Empire disliked him, but what about the regular people who are the majority population?

As part of his plan to go on the Golden Path, he stopped all interplanetary travel for thousands of years, leading to a buildup in planetary ennui and a stagnation of culture so that the Scattering would happen after his death.

Were his actions justified? Probably, but if you didn't have access to his future vision, you have an all-powerful Emperor who stopped things for seemingly arbitrary reasons, someone who does not look like a particularly good leader.
