Reviewers, largely hard Leftists, are trashing the film. It apparently has lots of throwbacks to please older fans, and undoes many controversial things from the last film, though they also claim it’s largely lacking interesting arcs and dialogue. But the gay kiss is there, at the end of the film. My own theory is that they have intentionally made this a bad film. Being Leftists themselves, they’re angry at the older fans for not supporting their agendas. There’s obviously some Trump Derangement Syndrome there as part of this too. And the gay kiss is there as a final middle finger to those fans.

So they knew they had lost the fans completely, and there was no getting them back. And even on the Left, there was constant pressure on social media to force Disney to make one pair or another from the films into couples - Rey and Kylo, but also those pushing for a gay pairing of Finn and Poe. That “shipping” went so far as to lead to online harassment from fans on the Left. All around, it’s been a mess - though one, I would say, created by the Left. Disney/Lucasfilm knew they couldn’t win. So they took a dive.
