I dont want to argue anything with you. What is the point? This game it's what it is, and if you thought Warband was dumb you will think Bannerlord is dumb. Instead of yelling and fighting and having pointless discussions about realism in videogames just... play another game, I'm sure there are games that have the approach you're looking for.Ok, you convinced me. You're absolutely right. Your argumentation is so strong and so deeply rooted into reason, that I cannot make any counter argument against that. I'll now go play another game as dictated.
Or wait for a mod to put your approach into this game, you could do that too. I have the same problem with immersion in SP, I've realized that the devs just dont give a crap about it despite the high amount of threads I've made, making suggestions and criticizing the game for it. They wont do anything about it, or not yet. So I accepted it and moved on with my life playing better games, waiting for the modders to fix that mess.
Even though this is another matter since a big lot of players disagree with the OP's views which come from a different place, because there are people who do like the Warband multiplayer and its professional side and do not expect a "realistic" (whatever that means) change in Bannerlord. I know I didnt, if anything Bannerlord multiplayer's problem its definetly not lack of what you consider realism, but whatever. Like I've said, it's not going to change, move on with your life.
