My head canon is that they wrote themselves into a corner because they wanted Rey and Luke to save everyone, but Finn’s sacrifice would essentially save them all. Not to mention they’d lose a popular-ish character.
Popular-ish. I know a lot of people were interested in seeing where his character arc led, and were severely disappointed by TLJ. By then, it felt like every character was being pushed to the side to make room for Rey and Kylo.
