Unpopular opinion: Limp Bizkits version is OK. You just have to ignore the fact that it's sung by the biggest douche in the world being mopey about being a douche.
Musically it's fine, and by any other band of the era it wouldn't have been so... icky.
And it's a lost opportunity - I'm sure Wes would've loved rocking out during the solo-section if he was still in the band at that point. But since he wasn't, they used some boring synth pads instead.
I wouldn't go that far myself, but I can understand why some do. I was never really an LB fan, but I like a few of their songs, and Wes Borland is an awesome guitarist. I just consider Fred Durst to be a proto-incel who tries too hard.
“And it's a lost opportunity” THIS! I like their cover of Faith and how they got aggressive with it. First time I heard Behind Blue Eyes I was primed and let down. Behind Blue Balls is more like it.

I'll go a step further and admit that I really like the cover.
