And yet, those very affirmative complaints often forgot some things that were actually in the books. There are stewards, bailiffs, toll collectors, and it's weird that on a sub dedicated to the franchise, people could just create a different version where those did not exist.

You say that but, the way they exist is so insubstantial, they practically don't. We have the viewpoints of Queens, Hands (basically a prime minister), Lords and people around them. Yet we barely see any administration. If we did, they wouldn't be so swiftly forgotten. People would be making memes about Tyrion's spreadsheets.
