It's co-morbid with the wiki-fication of fandom. Speaking of asbestos underwear:

Rey's character change between The Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker. She goes from a nobody who's a hero because of her choices, to the Emperor's secret granddaughter whose entire life revolves around her ancestry.

But boy is there a ton more minutia to plug into Wookiepedia after Rise of Skywalker. It completely robs the character of agency, but now her entry is way longer.

I meet younger nerds who seem to sincerely conflate this kind of thing with "good world building."
