Honestly I don't know why people are fixated on the creature. What bugs me is this; just how often did they send M-class star-freighters to LV426? I'm old school here. At a time it was "Alien species never before seen" and "Ellen Ripley for all intents and purposes wiped out the species" to now with the prequels it appears sending an unknown crew to LV426 with company placed droid is a regularly scheduled Thursday-night operation.
Just how many women are out there floating in escape pods with the pets? 2200? At this point I'm assuming Ripley was not the first. Hell she probably isn't even in the first 500.
Sorry.
Romulus created a few issues too, such as apparently knowing about the alien and where they were, which contadicts parts of Aliens. This is ultimately the potential problem with anything set before something else, there is always the risks of continuity issues and plot holes. And with studios and crews that don't respect or know the lore as much as fans do, they just going to do what they want regardless of continuity.
This is entirely realistic from my experience working for global companies. There are so many random teams and projects that no-one knows about. There's often multiple teams working on the exact same thing that are completely igorant of each other. This level of miscommunication was just not something I appreciated until I experienced it for myself. It's immensely realistic.
This. 1000 times. I've worked with/for some of the biggest global brands you can name and I can tell you they are not this ultra, efficient model of cohesiveness. Most of them are a held together by sticky tape and running on legacy systems and protocols that have been patched up to seem modern. The level of miscommunication, wasted funds, duplication, red tape is off the charts. I am still surprised just how bad so many large companies are run yet still thriving.
