For me, it was more the movies, but it was the fact that if you missed one, there was no consequences for plot or continuity. They were all linked, but self contained. Initially, it seemed like it was an expansive plot. It wasn’t. It was a bunch of loosely connected plots with cameos.

The tv shows made it more obvious. The cookie cutter approach made it easier. I’m fine with formulas that work, but they need to at least have a soul. The mcu and now Star Wars is basically what happens when you have lots of ideas and characters but no ideas on plot or characacter development.
