Exactly.

People just saw the bridge and mission rank getting changed from D to B and considered it a carbon copy of the Zabuza arc. Sure, there are similarities but the way some people put it, if feels as though they think it's 'exact' Zabuza arc with no difference. It was mostly done for nostalgia since it's been almost 10-12 years that many people haven't seen the Zabuza arc and because first mission is a significant milestone in their lives.

People should be grateful that they didn't show Boruto's first mission to be to find a lost pet or object since that was naruto's first mission.
