I mean the show is about Sam deciding if he wants to be cap or not
Yeah but it's demonstrating pretty handily that demanding your audience watch a streaming series to follow your movie beats is a bad idea.
Except that isn't what happened.
If you don't watch Falcon & The Winter Soldier then Sam goes from accepting the role of Captain America in Endgame from Steve, to being Captain America in Brave New World. There is a moment in Endgame where Sam isn't sure he's earned it, but that's part of the conversation with Steve.
If however you do watch Falcon & The Winter Soldier you discover that Sam did wrestle with the idea of being Captain America for more than just a moment. During the series Sam grows as a character and ultimately does accept the role of Captain America.
For the purposes of the Captain America character The Falcon & The Winter Soldier is not required. It's a nice bonus to his character and I would recommend it. It's like watching The Avengers having not seen Captain America 1. You can enjoy the Captain America character without having seen his origin story.
This is satire, this is the same kind of nonsense people said about his games.
This is a tongue in cheek statement by Kojima.
Sure, but he's making fun of the Marvel audience for the same flaw held by gamers:
They're kind of dumb, on the whole. Partly because a lot of them are children who may not necessarily follow the commentary.
Especially such a mediocre one
