That's the point! If you're gonna capitalize on the goodwill generated by the original, there'd better by god be some payoff.
If not, just form your own franchise. That was always the biggest mistake Rian Johnson made with TLJ and that the idiots in charge of the other ghostbusters 'sequel' made.
Fan services is a necessary predicate for a successful reboot or sequel. That's the entire reason you have one to begin with.

I don't think the problem is fan service per se, but rather that there should be more there than JUST fan service. If I were a 20 year old with no connection to the original, I don't know that I would've cared for this one. Luckily (I guess) I'm a 45 year old who vividly remembers seeing the original in the theater as a 7 year with his dad.
