I think the reason why there is any pining for Rey's background having significance is because it's been stated by LF that these 9 Episodes are about the Skywalkers specifically, and is telling their story, which is culminating in the final episode. The next trilogy won't be related to them, and can star entirely new nobodies (hopefully with little to no character tie-ins to old ones because it'll be based in a very different time), but this last episode is the conclusion to the Skywalker saga, so you might as well tie it up in a nice bow by making Rey related, or a "product" of the skywalkers past doings. To represent some sort of karmic symbolism and be the one to end the Skywalker bloodline.
It would still just be a terrible conclusion that hollows out the universe for nothing more that adding a neat little link to wookiepedia for fan boys. She's nothing, shes nobody, her parents were filthy junk traders, and still she was able to take up the mantle of Jesus Immaculate Comception Skywalker, and his son, and his grandson. That's a story, and still and ending the the Skywalker saga

Kylo looked redemption in the face and turned his back, it was the single best villain move in star wars history, and the reversal of that will just be sad to see, Kylo should die as the big bad, anything else will just feel like back tracking on a great moment.
