As much as people loathe the idea that Disney has long owned Star Wars, I see a small sense of reason about it. The only good thing about the acquisition is because it helped streamline the lore. I don't agree with all of the changes, like lightsabers being mood-dependent and cool characters like Exar Kun being shunned from being acknowledged in canon.

However, when you look at the EU as a whole, things got very ridiculous. Like Luke Skywalker essentially become a Force God, you've got Emperor Palpatine being close to being equal to that level on the Sith side with summoning force storms. Darth Talon was created mostly for sex appeal, given by the way she's drawn and how little she does anything except be Darth Krayt's little sidekick.

Characters surviving fatal wounds, characters being measured for 1v1 debates as to who is stronger than whom, characters being proclaimed as the 'only this' and the 'only that'. I mean, it got waaaay out of hand. It was like Star Wars got into Shonen Anime territory without it being Shonen Anime.

So, while I don't agree with nearly every change Disney has made to Star Wars lore and stuff since acquiring it. But I also can see why, which is to help narrow and straighten things down while picking pieces of the EU that would work.
