You seem very hung up on this.

TROS sucks, but I don't spend much time dwelling on its barely-cobbled-together narrative mess. It tried to fix what was both fixable and things which didn't need to be touched whatsoever, and ended up screwing up both.

By saying that The Rise of Skywalker changed what The Last Jedi supposedly said (even though it didn't actually say anything definitive at all in the end), the assertion very much is that what was supposedly said in TLJ should take precedence over what was definitively said in TRoS.

Nobody is saying that, all they're saying is that the wish they hadn't changed Rey's origin between the two movies. It was pretty clear that what they said about Rey's parents was meant to be true, there was no indication that I can remember that Kylo Ren was lying, and then changed their minds when they were putting together The Rise of Skywalker.

Exactly. Whether it was explicitly stated in TLJ or not, I think the majority of people who saw the film would agree that prior to TRoS it was the intention that Rey not have significant family ties.

I think the majority of people who saw the film would also agree that if we were supposed to see the film we saw and have doubts that what we saw represented the reality of the matter then it was poorly executed.
