Many Young Sheldon fans are fine with Sheldon's lack of character evolution
As the focus of "Young Sheldon" shifts away from its titular character, many viewers are completely fine with Sheldon's lack of development. This frees up screen time for the other Coopers. Many are particularly enjoying the noticeable change in Montana Jordan's character of Georgie, who has drastically matured while holding fast to his "goofball" persona.
Others feel there's not much more writers can do to evolve Sheldon, which is why he's taking a backseat in later seasons. U/ConrrHD said, " ... there's 12 seasons of Sheldon being a main character [on 'The Big Bang Theory']. With no real development possible in his character he's definitely in the right spot at the moment."
U/United_Efficiency330 agreed that there's only so much evolution possible for the future theoretical physicist: "We get it, he's very smart. We get it, he's obnoxious all the time. We get it, he has no friends. One can only put up with that for so long."
It seems there's only one way for Sheldon to regain his status as the lead: If he catches his father cheating, just as adult Sheldon (Jim Parsons) recalls in "The Big Bang Theory." This would give him a major storyline, though the manner in which he handles it could truly make or break how he's perceived by anti-Sheldon viewers.
