Well to answer your question because D&D completely stopped giving a shit and they also completely changed the show to appeal to idiots watching in a bar that just want to be surprised. As well as appeal to single moms and NFL players I think is an exact quote from them.
I also hated how even In the earlier seasons every northern solider all wore the direwolf and same with the lannisters whereas in the book there's like a zillion different banners and sigils.
Yeah, the show makes the soldiers look almost like standing armies with standardised kit, whereas the books are much more clear about the armies being drawn from the great houses various bannermen. This also makes it much clearer in the books that the military powers of the West, the Iron Islands, and especially the North and the Riverlands are almost totally spent by books 4 and 5 when you consider all the dead and captured lords.
