I think I'm done with this show now.
Just curious, but could I ask why?

Sure! I don't find it particularly captivating or interesting. This past week's "big reveal" just cemented that fact. Literally anything can happen and it will not change my opinion about the show.
I think i'm with you on how you feel about it. I've enjoyed many parts of it, but it just isn't sparking a lasting interest in me.

Soo... the 'aerospace engineer" she kept name-dropping as if it would be meaningful when we saw them is... at best (optimistically), a skrull; at worst, no one of interest?
Not sure who's more to blame- the writers for dangling a red herring like that or the internet for grabbing a throw-away line and running with it.

I'm mostly inclined to blame the internet on this one, as I didn't get the sense it was a major character when they were first mentioned and only saw the talk about Reed Richards and all that once I started reading things on the web. Granted I could also be wrong and there could still be a big aerospace engineeer reveal in the last two episodes.
Agatha Harkness was a substantial revelation. Wow. If I'm to nitpick it would have been nice to get just a little closer to the original character design. Kathryn Hahn as Harkness is as oddball casting as ... Marissa Tomei as Aunt May. It's not a deal breaker, though.

This is what I feel, as well.

I thought so as well, but wasn't sure.
I mean, if it's not a somebody there's zero point in always referring him as aerospace engineer or whatever. In reality you'd just say, i'll call my friend bob, he's an aerospace engineer I bet he can help. And from then on you refer to him as bob. You don't keep saying 'my friend the aerospace engineer every time you reference him. In a movie/show, you do that when giving bobs name gives something away....if he's no one, it's just a flat out intentional screwing with you thing.

There’s always time for a “true form” to show through. That happens so often with witchy/magic character it’s basically a trope of its own

How many times did she actually reference them as the aerospace engineer, though. I only remember her saying that once and then only one other mention of “my guy” in another episode. Granted, I have not pored over each episode, but I really think the internet has turned this into a bigger thing than was intended.
That being said, I do think there are some interesting things to come in the final episodes.

From when I was a kid, I always remember Agatha as a good guy in the FF4 comics, someone who was a nanny to the Richards' son. Why are they portraying her as a villain here? Unless I missed some stories and she really always was a villain?

I went and checked the transcripts for episodes 5 and 6 and her friend is only mentioned twice, once in each episode. Episode 5 is when she first mentions the aerospace engineer and in episode 6 she only refers to them as, "my guy."
I do think the internet just got carried away.

Understandable. I also didn't care for the reveal at all. Disappointing as there's an entire universe of other possibilities but it didn't ruin the show for me. There's a great opportunity to expound more on Wanda and Vision's characters, I hope they continue to in the few episodes left.

In a Very clever way too. Its Kathryn Hahn speaking but with her voice altered to a lower pitch.

After episode 7, I really feel that every episode could be about 5 minutes long and have the same impact. It's like this was planned as a web series but they expanded for Disney +.
As to this episode specifically, the MCU has helicarriers, quinjets, robots, robotic armor, and we're supposed to be impressed with a janky moon buggy?
Also, I don't know who Agetha is and nothing leading up to the reveal made me care about her. I get that she's manipulated Wanda apparently through magic, but it really doesn't mean anything to me.

Why is that clever? Why not just leave her voice unaltered if they were going to reveal it a few minutes later anyway?

It keeps the illusion until the reveal and keeps viewers from catching it immediately.
They could just as easily have have gotten a random voice.
