Check out flesson19 on YouTube about trade. It's still very much part of the game.
You keep saying many when it's less than .01%. There is quite literally less than 300 of you who are upset with TaleWorlds. Kinda insignificant.
Does this mean 6/10 = 97%
9/10 on Steam
I disagree with the bullet points but I also know future DLC and Mods will include or already do include responses to all or most of the issues. For me, I look as Bannerlord as a perfect foundation for Sandbox gameplay aside from the AI. I also understand a 90+ dev team put a ton of man hours into making this game playable and plan on putting a ton more into it. TaleWorlds and Mount and Blade have made gaming strides in doing something no one else has done and their attempt to make an Dynamic RPG Sandbox RTS appeals to me because I've had similar gaming ideas for the past 25 years since I was 10 years old in the 90s and first played Red Alert. They're doing it and they're doing it well. Put the original mount and blade next to Bannerlord at release for both and compare while understanding what it takes to make these things possible. It's not easy by any means and I think it will only get better with polish over the next year or two in post release.
