I disagree but I understand your perspective. To me the Fall of Reach was botched horribly. But I'm a lifelong Halo fan so that may not be applicable to most.

I’m also a life long halo fan. However I came to terms a long time ago with the fact that the media I love will change over time.

Would I prefer that Star Wars had stuck to Admiral Thrawn being the big bad post Return of the Jedi? Absolutely, but I didn’t throw a fit when the sequel trilogy retconned all the books I read in the 90s. I was more happy to get new media after so long and despite the movies being awful we at least got some decent side projects like Andor and Rogue One.

Edit: Sorry, to be clear, I’m not saying you are throwing a fit, I just remember all the toxic wailing and nashing of teeth on the Halo subreddit. The first season was bad television regardless of whether it was Halo or not.
