I never really accepted the "mount and blade is fantasy" argument because the game really doesn't comply with it. there are literally no fantastical elements in the game. I'd rather see it as an alternative history game. Which is why I have a rather low tolerance for historical errors.

And that in case much better than character take the sword of the ass and more practical-fun that all the time the guy throw away the sword or spear.
And too much realism in some ways in the game would be far more negative than positive in the game.
Example:
- Get stuck on the horse when he dies
- Dying of infection or dysentery
"Only nobles can walk armed."
-Removes the weapon at all times when the exchange
- Lose all your money and equipment
-Pay tax and taxes
-And among other situations and dianamicas.
1. Why not? Give units a chance to drop depending on the attack. I really don't see what's wrong about it.
2. You mean attrition? I'd love to see attrition and camp management to keep it down.
3. You mean allowing the nobles to set policies on their fiefs like a sword ban which will increase repression but decrease the combat ability of the inhabitants in case of attacks? Of course there will still be smuggling and improvised/technically legal weapons. You could even make the effect on crime dependent on how strict law enforcement is. If there is a lot of enforcement people will have less ability to do things so crime will be lower but if there isn't the unarmed peasants will be extra vulnerable.
4. That's called weapon management and adds in interesting layer of strategy. Will you sheathe your sword before picking up a spear losing valuable seconds or will you just drop it risking to get caught unarmed? Of course dropped weapons should need to be easily findable.
5. If you won... assume you pick it back up. If you lost... well, of course. I'd say realistic equipment deterioration and maintenance needs are a good way to sink money and can be compensation for making vendor price more reasonable.
6. Eehm... that's called basic fief or property management. in general people without property didn't pay taxes.
I think that covers it.
