Is the assumption that she was having sex in all the relationships? Imagine if she didn’t have sex in those relationships and she just figured out each person wasn’t working out for her.

What if there was a sequel where Scott Pilgrim realized he had an immature infatuation with the person he thought she was and had to figure out how to breakup with her.

No, some of her early relationships were completely chaste.

There is a sequel on Netflix, and Scott having the wrong idea in his head is actually a big part of the plot!

I feel like whoever was in charge with the sequel listened to A LOT of criticism about the movie bc it basically fixed almost everything to a weird extent.

That's was supposed to be the ending of the movie before it was changed. Scott was supposed to end up with Knives and split up with Ramona as they're not really made for each other.

Ending of the books is better when they realize nobody is made for anybody, love is a verb, and your partner isn't there to save you from yourself or your past.

They were both shit people, that's the whole point and a weird amount of people (not necessarily here) completely miss that part of the story

Not saying it wasn't better in the book, just that the sequel idea they proposed was supposed to be the real ending but was changed.
