It makes sense that due to Love, Simon being a movie, it doesn't have the time to follow everyone's lives outside of how they were affected by Simon or how their actions influence him. However, given that Love, Victor is a series, this allows time to follow up with not only what's going on in Victor's life, but what's up with Felix not letting anyone into his apartment, why Lake is so focussed on what others think, and how Mia is adjusting to a potential new step mother (Sophia Bush).
