Just saw he died in 2020, explains why the rings of power came out as a project magically at the same time

Yup. I think this quote explains their mindset perfectly. (not just the showrunners but the family)

Tolkien would have a line or reference, and from that, a whole character and an arc could spring... We just felt like Tolkien had this massive plot of land that we knew had oil in it somewhere, and every time we hit the ground, a geyser would spring up.

It's the Scouring of the Shire.

It's impossible to imagine anyone saying that line without tenting their fingers and cackling ghoulishly. How can these people talk about properties they claim to be lifelong fans of in such a fashion?

Lifelong fashion is what they are really fans of.
