I don't like David's story whatsover. Its not scary as it proposes to be although it is setup for HIM to be a villain of some sort just not a very good one. Androids have always been a mere fraction of the plot development however Ridley has him written in 90 percent. Go figure.

We'll never know until we see it. I too don't like all of Scott's ideas, though I would be more frustrated not to see him end the trilogy and David's story. I so don't want to see David crash the Space Jockey ship on LV-426, though I could live with it. I mostly want to see what happens to the Covenant crew. Whatever the story is, I hope it's a good one and that we see one more movie from Scott.
After that, the franchise could be passed to somebody else, as far as I'm concerned.
I agree I'm not really happy that the Alien franchise is focusing on an android, but I do like David and I'm trying to stay optimistic
at least things have been shaken up a little even though the results have been mixed to say the least.. I can't say I'm not intrigued by some of the ideas proposed but I do believe they need to be better executed. The weakest part of the movie for me is the treatment of the Alien, not David.
If one more movie does get made, I'd like them too keep perverted David, make him a bit less cartoon villain like, and treat the Alien with respect. Credible, formidable and scary.
I do worry Scott doesn't have what it takes to tie things up neatly and that he doesn't really care enough about the Alien anymore. I hope not, but his remarks are not promising...
The Disney deal, however scary in the beginning, does make me feel hopeful that the franchise has a future. If they hopefully don't put it on ice and The Predator does well, we could be in for an interesting ride, be it with Scott or someone else.
