Finn is a fantastic character with wonderfully apparent flaws that he is in need of overcoming. It's called a character arc. The problem is he has practically been sidelined in favor of Mary Sue, Not-Luke, and Kyle Ron.

The problem is, he doesn't overcome them, and he's been sidelined. His flaws aren't used as a means of showing improvement and development, they're just used for cheap laughs. He can't have a real character arc because now he's just a side character who doesn't have any influence on the main story.

I fully agree, and that's my biggest beef with TLJ. They had a character who was ripe for a character arc, and they instead chose to focus on Mary Sue. You had someone recovering from a server injury with a lot of cowardice, but the will to overcome it when the chips are down... And they chose to follow someone who is apparently even more chosen than Anakin.
