The scenario being the same has nothing to do with why it's a problem for people. Yes, it's the same.

But the Emperor's presence didn't create a bunch of questions from viewers, because you had literally no knowledge whatsoever, of what took place before the movies. It was a blank slate, and you can get away with mysterious, all powerful characters, without explaining anything.

But now, there is a history, and that history creates questions about snoke's existence become harder for people to ignore.

I honestly don't think there is any point in debating this anymore though. The difference between people who are bothered by this, and the people who aren't comes down to how we watch these movies and how invested we are in the overall lore, and how that is presented in the films. Some people are going to care, some aren't.
