Because Rey is only now fully “awakened” and letting in the force. She had her vision which ended with a voice saying “these are your first steps”.So when she was “awakened” by the vision, how did Kylo freeze her in place and knock her unconscious with an effortless wave of his hand?
If she was “awakened” by the time of the final fight, how was Kylo able to throw her against a tree from 30 yards away?
I did say FULLY awakened. Did you ignore also how I pointed out the significance of the “first steps” line? Until she saw Finn dying, she was running from her force connection and the saber itself, which is symbolic of her abilities.
Seeing her friend in danger leads to that Excalibur moment, which symbolises that she is finally letting it all in and ready to embrace being a Jedi.
Edit: For clarity’s sake, so we can avoid further back and forths, the moment she force grabs the saber (accepting that to save her friend, she must embrace her destiny) THAT is when Rey is finally, truly “Awakened”, and gains a more thorough mastery of her abilities.
