Hubble was something never seen before (in the public eye). JWT is higher resolution, in spectra completely unavailable to Hubble. For astronomers it is a giant leap. We will learn new things that we simply could not before. However, when the output is converted to "human-visible frequencies", it inevitably looks similar to the Hubble's output. It's a bit like why I personally find 4K a significantly less impressive leap than HD was over SD. So I understand why it may superficially look the same to you, and that that is what is blocking you from "feeling" why it's as big of a deal as the media makes it out to be. However, the only real "cure" for that is to dive into the science, at least a little bit, to get some perspective of what all these images represent. EDIT: to give a point of comparison: objectively from a visual standpoint, The Pale Blue Dot is not an impressive image to look at. But if you know the story behind it and what it represents, it becomes powerful. Now I'm not saying JWT images will ever be as meaningful to us as PBD will be, since that last one is inherently more personal, but the idea is the same.
