You guys know that Isayama himself worked close with the directors and animators this season to change a bunch of things he did in the manga, right?
He even said he felt the uprising arc was his weakest work and wanted to improve it, since it was published he had no choice, but now that it’s getting animated has a chance to mold it into what he wanted.
So don’t give WIT too much shit for doing what they’re told to do.
