This is the case because the sequel trilogy has a very bizarre metaphor to it all that appeals to the worst people imaginable. It starts itself off by just being a basic retelling of the OT with some characters swapped out, which de-facto erased any meaning of the fights had in the OT because it turns out that the democratic republic that previously stood for 1000 generations can now die in roughly 40 due to uh... apathy, I guess. Or maybe it's trying to make a poor WWII allegory that doesn't work because the OT was already WWII. Oh and also people can return from the dead now.
Then at the center of it all you have quite literally the galaxy's biggest nepobaby. Born with an inexplicable affinity for the force, capable of surviving on her own, gets given everyone else's cool tools, never really has any training under a competent teacher. Purely a being of talent, which granted the force tended to be somewhat hereditary but even then it still had to be trained and cultivated. Essentially saying "YOU WERE BORN SPECIAL AND HAVE TO PUT 0 EFFORT INTO ANYTHING TO BE SPECIAL!" offhand but i remember how opm handled this same idea and i like it even more now knowing how skill practice is meant to be done and that 'talent' really is just a meme
There was a real chance given to dress this character down (metaphorically, i'm sure she did it literally to get the job) in TLJ but Rian was too busy jerking himself off over his oh so clever Star Wars 'deconstruction' thats only positive was making Disney trip over themselves in trying to make the third movie, which was fucking hilarious. No, instead it was Luke who had the dressdown and his entire role in the movie was essentially being a dishevelled hobo who regrets everything. Or, in other words, "don't fight for what's right because eventually you'll grow up to be old and regret it all, just let the status quo go on." Given that everything he and his friends fought for, right down to the death of the emperor, was quite literally undone via magic I can't really blame the fucker.
The best way I can honestly describe this is it's like Disney made their own version of Steven Universe. SU was also a complete nepobaby. He's a fuckup and an asshole, but he doesn't try to get better, instead the universe simply blesses him with powers that make his fuckups disappear. Rey is the same way, she fucks up but never has to live with any of it because she can simply apply anti-fuckup medication to the situation and everything is okay. The most egregious example of this was fucking 'force heal' because otherwise she'd have had to deal with loss.
As another example, if Luke were anything like Rey, Obi-Wan would've never died fighting Vader on the Death Star and instead Luke would've simply jumped in, beat him in a fight without knowing what he was doing, FORCE HEAL poor Obi-Wan, and then carry him back to the Falcon. He would've gone to Yoda and then pulled his own ship out of the swamp and left without ever talking to him. He would've killed Vader before the third movie and then used Force Nuke on the 2nd Death Star. All of the fuckups that changed who he was and made him learn and evolve and grow respect for what it meant to be a jedi simply would've never happened, like they never happened for Rey.
Understandably the people who relate to this metaphor the most instead of finding it destructive or frustrating are rude, egotistical people who were born into pleasant situations and have had all of their fuckups simply whisked away instead of actually having to learn and move on from something that they can't fix.
