Gonna disagree with you about the quality of Mando; it's just an incredibly different type of show. I feel the exact opposite of you: I thought the first season was meh until the end, and the show has continued to get better from there (with some individual episodes that were crap).
For the record, Andor is by far my favorite piece of contemporary Star Wars media. It's not even close.
What I'm saying is, not every show or movie has to be well received by every fan.
Hell, I even enjoyed Obi-Wan for what it was. A sad waste of potential? Totally. But some of the things it set out to do were done well (specifically, showing Obi-Wan's state of mind during that time period)
I don't expect Mando to press the same emotional buttons as Andor, and I don't expect Andor to make me go "whoaaaaa awesome lightsaber duel!" the way Ahsoka did. Let them be different. We don't have to tear down anything that doesn't fit our image of the perfect star wars show
