NTA, but name a single truly original story. This is a rhetorical question. Every great work is built on what came before it, and the entire enterprise of human art is built on the originality of nature.
Accept it or not, Ridley brought us Alien, Bladerunner, two of the best films ever made, and has more great films than merely those to his name.
Like them or not, Prometheus and Alien: Covenant have the issue of originality as a core theme. Ridley understands you must sometimes force new ideas on the audience.
His studio and a ton of the ideas he's explored in his sci-fi are behind Raised By Wolves which is one of the most beloved and underrated shows of the last decade.
When you've created anything that approaches the caliber of his work, when you impress me with your own creativity, then I'll consider it when you say he's "unoriginal".
I respect the better man.
