Which specific frame did you get?

The way carbon works is that at first people say it won't work. Then someone starts to make stuff out of it, and it breaks, then they get the specs right and over time it occupies the high stress durability end of the market, as well as other niches. Often there are hidden oddities, that make it less suited than one thinks as it is capable of completely out of the box applications, but also doesn't always mirror conventional uses that well. Carbon shafts on golf clubs have not been what one might think they would be, on boats you can end up using free standing spars.

Since the harshest application, forks, works just fine, no reason a carbon bike should even be all that interesting.
