I think they were more building on “the Force is for everyone” rather than hinting specifically at Finn’s Force sensitivity.
No longer is the canon dealing with just Jedi or Sith Force users; Kylo Ren and the Knights of Ren used the dark side but they weren’t Sith, the Guardians of the Whills on Jedha (in Rogue One) say “I am one with the Force and the Force is with me” as a sort of personal battle cry, the Cult of Central Isopter are an enigmatic group of death worshippers (who were also present on Jedha) who are force sensitive and travel to areas where death and destruction are about to take place, Obi Wan said to trust only in the Force after Order 66 and that became something that various characters have used in lots of different situations.
There are hints of the Force helping characters everywhere, seemingly at random. Depending on a character’s level of connection to the Force, trusting the Force could be something very influential over their life. Or if they aren’t very Force sensitive at all, trusting the the Force could be the Star Wars equivalent to saying “yeet” before launching head-first into a dangerous situation.
Hold by beer while I trust in the Force! *jumps off speeding star ship while shooting at stormtroopers*
Ooooooorrrrr it could be a cheap crutch that the writers use to miraculously pluck a character out of a bad situation. *shrug*
