I can't agree that lazy writing is something that needs to be overlooked in excellent art. Writing is an important part of storytelling media and excellent writing is a part of excellent art IMO.
And no, that wasn't the message of the movie, but it was a message of the movie, though tbf I can't tell if it was trying to communicate that the mistake was Holdo refusing to communicate her plan or Poe refusing to just sit back and follow orders.
Hating what it is is the same as hating it, even with a belief that it can be changed for the better. I think he was trying to change it rather than just burn it to the ground but I also think that people who love someone but think they need to change don't actually love them but instead love a different idea of them that they aren't.
Maybe he did have passion for what he was doing, but he either didn't respect what it was or didn't understand it.
