NTA but I absolutely agree with you. Too often people will be posting about "the message" like watching a cool film is actually some kind of academic text or literary classic that you need to analyze and think through to take in a moral message or teaching. This is how you get with takes like "One Piece is an anarchist manifest" or "Andor is real Star Wars because its about fascism".
I think it's partially the result of people being scared that their "geeky" or "childish" hobbies are often dismissed, so they need to elevate them by coming up with reasons into why they're worthy of wasting your time on. Enjoying Transformers isn't anymore about seeing cool robots, but also about what "message" its trying to say. This is why, I feel, that games with heavy storytelling like Last of Us are often viewed as more prestigious games than games that are all about fun gameplay.
