It is just doesn't work and would be better suited to a previously unknown character so we can get to know him and watch him grow every week but if they did that they wouldn't be able to put "Bobba Fett" in the title and far fewer people would watch it.

He isn’t going to regress. They have very heavily trailed the key line of dialogue “I intend to rule with respect” which exists in the “now”, and they are exploring lengthy flashbacks to his recent “then”, which show exactly why he’s even interested in ruling a portion of Tatooine at all, and why he is interested in doing so respectfully.
I don’t understand why you think you know anything about Boba Fett that prevents his story being developed in this way. Prior to his appearance in The Mandalorian, he had had less than 7 minutes of screen time and spoke just 4 lines of dialogue. And, as a bounty hunter, he was more tolerable to the authorities than Han Solo was as a smuggler and quick-shooter, so even within the two-dimensional characterisation he is given in the original trilogy there’s actually a whole massive grey area to explore.
