Yeah, as has been pointed out before, people do love to pick on the flaws of the new movies while ignoring very similar flaws in the OT.
None of these flaws have every dampened my enjoyment of the movies. They’re movies, not real life.
The questionable travel times in the OT never bothered me. Because, as you say, it’s not real life. Here, the issues are fairly obvious in-universe oddities. And those things do bug me.
