Perfect opportunity to see the world 25 years after the bombs fell, see how the survivors outside the vaults handled the early part of the fallout, be in a world before that which with become used to (BoS, Enclave, Super Mutants, Ghouls) came about. Nah screw the wealth of story and world exploration, let's make an MP game and maybe throw in a Battle Royale mode.
Reys parents being nobodies is actually far more effective than being somebodies. Does that mean that the force sensitive boy at the end needs to be from Royal background? No. The answer is in the OT where Yoda explains that the force is everywhere and what binds us. Just some have better abilities in tapping into the power than others.
