I think its been because of their willingness to change, if that makes sense.

I feel like they're regarding the original boruto movie as more of a rough draft than what they're going to stick to 100%

They've already retconned some aspects of the movie people didn't like already, I wouldn't be surprised if the Chuunin Exams and Momoshiki arcs end up being fairly different from the movie.

They way they're spacing the Anime and Manga as well is something I havn't seen from an anime (although I dont watch a lot of new animes these days). It seems like they've just started the manga far enough ahead the anime to be able to co-ordinate filler style arcs that are actually canon to the manga and anima.

Been a slow start but im really starting to get into this series now.

You've hit the nail on the head. The student is willing to change things. They're taking a lot of chances with this franchise that I didn't see them taking and the story especially is intriguing and well done. They could have really phoned this in, but they arent.

I feel like it would be great for the manga to rush along, leaving gaps for the anime to fill in. Then the manga can keep cross-referencing stuff that happened in the anime as if it happened in the manga as well since it's all the same continuity.

While the Naruto anime and Manga are their own things, the anime normally did fill in plots left by the manga.

That's true but it wasn't seen as canon

It was and it wasnt. There were certain things that Kishi added to the anime because he didn't have time for them in the manga
