I just had a thought. Did the rebels even defeat the First Order? I know they took out Palpatine's Final Order Armada but I think the First Order is still at 100% minus Kylo.

I could be wrong.

I think we're to assume the combined forces then went on to defeat the First Order, which is dumb as it means they coulda done this from the start. As with TLJ, the more you think about the movie, the stupider it gets.

I think the end implied, without their leadership, the First Order's hold on power crumbled rapidly. They probably survived as an organization, but not as a galactic power.
