Am I blind, or are the trailer and voice acting not as bad as people (especially the Japanese) made it out to be?

It’s not bad, it’s just not to the standards people expected (myself included). SakaDays needed a better studio imo, something like A1, Bones, Madhouse… but it still looks alright.

I think when it comes to the voice acting it's because Shonen Jump released some voiced comic videos on their channel that had newer/lesser-known VAs in the industry. It was a few years back, but I would imagine older fans of Sakadays grew attached to those selected voices and were hoping those same Japanese seiyuu would return for the anime. So the "issue" comes up where they announce an anime adaptation and decide to hire already popular/prolific seiyuus, whereas they could have gone with some fresher talent instead. One could argue that having a project with well-established voice actors in the industry should be an honor. But sometimes people want to root for the underdog and support those who have a chance of making a bigger break, especially if they get to be part of a popular shonen title. Junya Enoki (Itadori's VA in JJK) is a perfect example; he already voiced a bunch of smaller roles before JJK, but really spiked in popularity as a new Shonen MC. This allowed him more opportunities and recognition in the Japanese seiyuu industry, which is hella competitive as is.

My guy Sakamoto days is not being animated by A-1 pictures lol it’s TMS Solo leveling and Fate strange fake is being animated by A-1 and they look way better than Sakadays which is a shame cuz the source material for SL is nothing to write home about

It looks like a normal trailer to me, I don't know what could be wrong.
