Why do people say running isn't very effective for weight loss?

I don’t get this. I’ve started to run recently for weight loss and it feels amazing, but many people on Reddit or the internet claim that running just isn’t that effective for losing weight. This makes absolutely no sense. I’m a 5’8’’ 167lb man and, according to multiple calculators online and several scientific articles, my afternoon 32 minute 5.5km run burned around 427 calories. Now, I’ve been consuming 1500 calories per day to lose weight. How can running not be effective for weight loss If I just burned a third of my daily caloric intake? Let’s say 427 calories is overestimated and cut it in half: 213 calories can still easily be the difference between achieving your daily caloric intake and overeating for that day. Running for 30 minutes isn’t very hard (not talking about obese people, that’s a whole different story) and it doesn’t take up much of your day. Yeah I agree that 90% of weight loss consist of a diet, but I’m pretty sure running helps a ton. Am I missing something?
