The criticism likely concerns the extent to which the findings can be generalized as cross-sectional research only looks at one point in time and cannot account for changes that may occur over time. It is not likely to be related to attrition, noncomparable samples, or response rate bias, as these are common issues in longitudinal or survey research.
