The problem with that is that it overturns a lot of the tension from previous movies. In the big space battles/chases in the past, the Empire had used ships to block the Rebels from escaping via hyperspace. There are just so many situations in the last 7 movies that could have been easily dealt with, had it been possible to just hyperspace through an entire fleet.
It's also too simple of a solution. If it was possible to mess up a fleet of ships with a single ship in hyperspace, why didn't they do it in the past? Why not just design a bunch of drone style battering ram style weapons?
It also added to the overall bumbling that the First Order seemed to constantly engage in. We're talking about a group that managed to invade the galaxy by storm and eliminate the previous government and have the rebels on their heels. Yet, the First Order was throughout the movie falling for weak trick after trick.
The whole hyperspace thing, just seemed like lazy writing to me.
