Did I get memed into buying this game? Why's it so shit?

>Awful warfare system
Nothing ever matters. Unless it's numbers. Those are everything.
>Stupid random broken events
Oh cool my son is writing a letter accusing...himself...of being a cannibal?
>Opaque marriage and alliance systems
I can marry someone half the continent over with no problems and be 100% happy but some miniscule title that's now relevant destroys my empire from the inside out
>Useless RPG system and trees
RIP you turned 50 and died of old age but good job learning all those languages guess you never taught anyone in your house those ever
>Stupid useless artifact system
Want to leave a lasting impression on this world? Give me 12 years of your kingdom's revenue and I'll give you a fucking sword

Why would I ever play this? Do people really only care about le epic incest and le sex? Is the gameplay loop literally state at the screen while your gold goes up .00004% and click on the same dozen random events you've seen before?
