Agreed. People are also very quick to forget that Kylo's training came from dueling the other knights of ren and whataever Luke knew and Luke doesn't know much. I truly believe that the improvements of saber dueling in the prequels make sense. This was when many jedi passed down knowledge. Vader was hindered in his movement by being, well, android so Luke never had to learn more than that. He was a total newbie at this stuff. While Kylo and his opponents could practice a bit their knowldge is more likely to have come from fumbling through things described in books. And as you say, with nothing much on the line. Rey has been using her staff her whole life to survive and avoid being raped and such. She has practical knowledge. So I think this puts them on a pretty even stance physically. And the mental battle suggests she can match Kylo with the force once she understands it more. People cried out for a badass female Jedi, got one, and then they complain and ruin her. Drives me bonkers.
