The simple answer is that the Sebulba Dr. Peppers arent canon for rhe same reason that the Ghorman Massacre wasn't canon: It wasnt adopted into the universe's current canon. And the fact that the Ghormam Massacre was is inconsequential. If you caught the sly reference, you can tie it into other things you enjoy, amd if not it's just a notable massacre.

This wasn't even a pander to a fanbase demand. It was just an easter egg. I personally don't care, but if it makes somebody else feel good, whatever

I was okay that they ahd their cake and ate it too. If the massacre in the show was tarkin landing a ship on em I'd have been more bummed. And for anything else it's an Easter egg, but star wars fans were absolutely stoked to see tarken land his space ship on the ghormans and would have absolutely been made had it not at least been mentioned. Star Wars fans in particular have eaten too many Easter eggs and it's partially why they're mostly frothing rabid junkyard dogs
