You are describing exactly why Boba Fett was cool in how he was originally portrayed as well as what I did want to see, him kicking butt and being cool and mysterious.Without spoilers, this show actually tries to explain what has happened to Boba Fett after ROTJ and why he didn't want to be a bounty hunter anymore. If you wanted to watch a guy in mandalorian armor just going around and kicking butt, we had 2 seasons of that show already, with more seasons to come. And Boba Fett does kick butt throughout this series if you give it a chance.
I have to agree that Disney has allowed other writers and directors to destroy characters in the sequel trilogy, but I don't really see that happening here. Boba Fett in the Prequel and OT was a very cool, one-dimensional character much like Darth Maul. And both of those characters got more story time in the clone wars cartoon. In TESB we saw Boba's ship hide in trash, he ate dinner with a helmet on and talked back to Vader. In ROTJ we saw him kill...nobody...as he got his butt handed to him by Luke and his jetpack malfunctioned when a blind Han Solo took him out in a terrible slapstick moment. He was nothing more to Lucas' storyline than a means to sell toys, and now he has a full story. You don't have to like this new story, but his character wasn't ruined because there was nothing there before Disney+.
I don't want to see a cool side character turned into a boring old man. Giving a character a story doesn't have to mean you betray the intentions of the character.
If anything it further proves that not every one off side character needs to have a TV Series or Side Film as they already played their role in the story of Star Wars just fine.
