I'll let with this: the answer is that it is easier and better to find a non-fan. These people are willing to take on a property they know nothing about, so that means they will do whatever asked by the higher ups. No one will object to having it be revealed Leia was born a man and only indentified as a Princess because no one will know to object. In that article linked, the showrunner is the undisputed arbiter of reality - they are in complete control and shut anyone they want to down by saying "that's not true in Star Wars" and no one can argue with them about it. Cheap people you have undisputed power over, that's the real reason.
The EXCUSE they are using, which has been used, concept of it has some basis in merit: You want outsider, "non-fan" perspectives. I.E. If we want to attract people outside the Fandom so we can have diverse (collection of paypigs) and inclusive (of all sort of wallets).
If you fill the spiderman writers room full of spiderman superfans, they won't understand why people don't know who Wilbur Day is.
But they are of course fucking it up. You don't fill a room with people who are ambivalent at best and usually hostile to a property. You have maybe one dissenter in the writers room to keep everyone grounded. You need to make a product for your fans first and then try to bring outsiders into the tent.
But of as we've gone over repeatedly, Star Wars fans are long known as the battered wives of consumer populations. doesn't matter how hard Disney rapes the property or talks about canon not mattering, you still have people simping and spending like good paypigs because they need to know how the saga ends (and then also go and buy the toys) or because TCW8/Blando/SJW Batch isn't a total dumpster fire, so they need to let Disney know they're still willing to consoome good media if they'd make it.
That's an important message to send because Kennedy is about to be fired any day. Seriously, she's already completely defanged and removed from any decision making processes. She's under full Disney lockdown. Her office underseige by 18 buff 501st legion storm troopers.
