I do think it's weird that in the entire terrible Star Wars film, people have picked up on that line specifically.

Because it shows how poorly thought out Episode 9 was because rather than follow the simple rule of "yes, and," J.J. Abrams instead wanted to stubbornly cling to just remaking the original trilogy and threw out everything that Rian Johnson set up in Episode 8, resulting in a lot of sloppy handwaving, plot holes, and aborted character arcs.

That one line is a perfect summary of Episode 9 and Abrams' approach to the sequel trilogy as a whole. People like to shit on The Last Jedi (although ironically, it seems that people are actually starting to come around to it as the best one of those three movies), but the two movies flanking it are much, much lazier.
