Apparently, the actor himself with disappointed with the brevity of his character's "big fight":
Dude is openly sharing what he'd like to see happen with his character romantically:
There was another quote about him liking being a producer from Pacific Rim Uprising due to having his input considered but I can't really find it, maybe someone else will
either way, as I watch the Last Jedi deleted scenes; a significant amount of Finn's story is left on the cutting room floor. An alternate opening started with Finn, a BB8/Finn scene was cut, more Finn/Poe, more Finn/Rose, Finn being recognized by a Stormtrooper on the Supremacy, long Finn/Phasma fight with characterization from them both...
I don't think it's controversial to say Rian Johnson didn't seem to like Finn at all but to leave all that Finn stuff on the cutting room floor is some shit. I wish he wrote Finn as good as all the other poc characters in his filmography... lmao
I'm not surprised John wants Finn and Rey to be together romantically, honestly. Even Rian Johnson had Rey smile big when she was finally reunited with Finn, those characters are supposed to be together, imo.

"Yeah, man, I didn't expect it to be that quick if I'm being honest with you. I was like, wait, wait, what? He's been like ramped up for a big fight and then it was over in a second."
Dude is openly sharing what he'd like to see happen with his character romantically:
"Because Finn is the one character, for me, who has a distinct, unique relationship with everybody. He had this kind of banterous relationship with Han, then he has this loving relationship with Rey. Now with Rose, it feels like he has this great relationship. Personally? Rey. Yeah, Rey."
