He was the leading new male character in TFA. The way that it played in TFA is absolutely not that he was just one of the ensemble. I don't know what Disney said to him at the time of casting but his role in TFA was extremely significant.

And then on the other hand, describing his role in TROS as "slightly reduced ensemble role" is wrong, because he had absolutely nothing of interest to do in the film (of course, it doesn't help that the film is just awful in general). Comparing his characters' role in TFA and TROS, the difference is massive and it's reasonable for him to have expected to have had a more substantial role. That doesn't mean that he was right in terms of how he went about reacting to it, but he / his character did really kind of get shafted.

This is true. But the big problem was the fandom backlash to TLJ and how it did things, and in response the TROS creators decided to force Finn and Poe to tag along with Rey in a trio, when previously Poe had been a more minor character than Finn, and focus on giving fans lots of fanservice moments to the detriment of anyone except Rey and Kylo getting coherent plotlines.
