Even if they aren't explored any further, it's the story they choose to tell and it's hard to be critical of that to any real degree without just saying "my fan fiction idea is super duper and way better than this rubbish".
I can get annoyed (as I have in this thread) with narrative choices they've made in the movie, but I think what really annoys me is that I find it to just be...not all that well written, or directed. There's logic leaps within the story telling that ask too much of us to forgive/ignore, and then there's the escalation of force powers/unleashed of the most powerful weapon in the galaxy (...a hyperdrive core) that to me add a weird wrinkle to the "world" in part 8 of a 9 part saga.
...and the Rose/Finn stuff was utter rubbish, and that entire sequence was on par with the absolute worst parts of the saga thus far. "Rebel Scum!"/"Need a lift"/BB8 is this movie's "Now THIS is pod racing!" moment.
