His problems in life are just TOO trivial when compared to the problems naruto had at Boruto's age. And you can't blame Boruto for not having problems like naruto because he's a completely different character in completely different era.

And since the Chunin exams arc Boruto has lessened his whining to a considerable extent.

If everything happens in the show as you say then it will become nothing more than naruto 2.0 and it's the last thing the people behind this show want. That's just it. His problems are so trivial yet he whines and complains about them anyway. Unlike Naruto, Boruto has a family, a home, and people who will love him no matter what happens. He has more opportunity and more potential than Naruto. Yet he squandered them by choosing to fall victim to the issues in his life. And it's not about blaming him for being a snotty brat just because he has the right to be a snotty brat. It's the same with Obito, Nagato, and Gaara. We can't blame them for choosing to be bad. But just because we understand why they do what they do, it doesn't mean that what they did isn't wrong.

Just take a look at Naruto. He has every chance to be like Gaara. He has every chance to become like Nagato and Obito. Why didn't he end up like them? That's because unlike them, he doesn't whine and complain about the things in his life. He doesn't let his pain drag him down. He choose not to fall. He choose not to give up. And that is what makes his character larger than life.

I mean I understand that Boruto is made to cater towards the youth these days. I understand that youth these days cares more about being able to sympathize with the characters rather than being inspired by them. And if you're a person who's looking for a character that will do what any other characters would do then kudos for you. You're gonna like Boruto. But for people like me. People who're not looking for entitled characters that will do what anyone else would do. You're gonna feel betrayed by Boruto because Naruto was based upon a character who's larger than life.
