Honestly though, almost every quote people remember is from Episode 3, and I don't think that's a coincidence. That's the one I have the easiest time giving some amount of credit to. Episode 3 was still not good but I often wonder what it would have been like if we got a full prequel trilogy at that quality.
They were a mess but at least it was a quotable memeable mess.
The Disney Trilogy was full of forced meme attempts like "THEY FLY NOW!"

I can't argue your point about the Disney Trilogy
Episode III was the best of the prequels and while that isn't saying much it's still well ahead of the Disney trilogy on its own.
I used to assume as a kid that something like Episode III would be the start of the prequels.
