Nitpick, complain, whine, whinge… throw toys out of the pram! However you want to word it, there’s an awful lot of it going on.

It comes down to people complaining that there is a bad thing in the Sequel Trilogy, and you hold up the mirror and say well look, that same bad thing happened in the Original Trilogy.

Nitpick would be like “why are the bombs dropping if there’s no gravity”.

But there is gravity. They are near a planet. Objects in orbit of planets still experience gravity. That’s why they orbit. Also, saying “no gravity” assumes there is no artificial gravity on the lower part of the ship that gives way to inertia once the bombs leave it; or that the bombs aren’t being ejected by some mechanism.
