Who's fault is that though?
The problem is that one group of people watching the show see a lot of inconsistencies (as far as character behavior), plot armor out the wazoo, villain Sue Euron, Diabalous Ex Machinas (in terms of Dani's situation) and Euron's "teleporting stealth ships of DOOOOM", shocking swerves, dumb military tactics (for the sake of convenience), and characters being conveniently dumb.
While everyone else watching this show is like "this is fine".
....ooookay
You're right and I don't know whose to blame. As I said upthread, I'd like to know why they felt the need to condense so much of the ending. I have the feeling the producers and actors wanted to move on, otherwise I'm not sure there is a valid reason.
I worry public sentiment is souring. My wife is not a book reader, loves the show, but has come away from the last two episodes saying "downhill".
I've struggled to disagree with her.

If Cersei had Tyrion and Varys as advisors Dani would be on the Iron Throne by now.

As usual, actors want to avoid being typecast or identified too strongly with a single role, and I'm sure most of them signed onto this project assuming it was just going to be an easy payday that they could use as a springboard toward more serious future gigs. But as is typical in these cases, most of the GoT cast is mistaken if they think the show is holding them back, because of the actors who made their names in this show, few of them are really strong enough performers to land roles that anyone will remember, and the smart career move is really to keep feeding the golden goose for as long as possible.

HAR! Book Euron is cool but silly. He wears an eye patch despite not actually missing an eye, like someone who's trying way too hard to be unique. I will admit that when he was introduced on the show in Season 6, the way D&D had him portrayed, I thought they were making some kind of commentary on Donald Trump.

Dany is becoming a victim of plot and time constraints and it's really frustrating. She would handle all of this way differently.
She easily could just govern Westeros without King's Landing. Let Cersei hold herself up in that city with her expensive armies and her starving populace, while winter hits. It'd be very easy to convince the people to revolt.
The characters should move the plot, the plot shouldn't move the characters.
Yeah Dany and Jon needed a lot more room to develop their relationship on screen. I buy into it, as is- but still it needed to be fleshed out. This season and last season are just so damn rushed, which is a shame because the potential is there to just be damn near wonderful.
It's just weird to me that they chose to play the conflict surrounding Jon's parentage the way they are doing. The obvious, if cliched, angle of all the plotters and schemers trying to push him and Dany together for the sake of uniting the realm, and the two of them pushing back against it because they hate each other. If they actually love each other like the show is intent on telling us, then it shouldn't really matter who has the stronger claim. If history is any precedent joint rule is often quite a stable solution to dynastic woes, such as with Ferdinand and Isabella or William and Mary.
