Remember how TROS went out of its way to have Character A suggest the Holdo maneuver and then Character B discredit it by calling it "one in a million" instead of giving the obvious reason for not using it: "that's a suicide maneuver and their ships outnumber ours 5000 to 1"

The actual in universe explaination is because big ships need a hyperspace entry and exit point at specific points - the supremacy was sitting on one

I remember Pablo Hidalgo saying it also must happen at the start of the jump- you can’t just plot a course from anywhere and smash in on a target. So yeah, if a fleet is prepared for it, they can damage the ship trying to pull off the maneuver before it succeeds.pic.twitter.com/3TLW171Eda

I'm pretty sure the damage is caused while the attacking ship is "making the jump to lightspeed", rather than actually being IN Hyperspace already... meaning that the effective range of a Holdo Maneuver is actually somewhat limited, too.

It also has to be hard to hit. She had an enormous target and she didn't hit anywhere near center mass on what was an exceptionally large target.
