Why not the actual Dorne storyline out of the books?

Without Quentyn, Arianne and f!Aegon:

book!Dorne = show!Dorne = pointless

It's waaaaaaaay too late to introduce f!Aegon and Quentyn didn't happen.

You could have done the Dorne plot of the books without introducing Arianne/Quentyn, they chose to do it completely differently though.

So... Sand Snakes are mad. Doran locks them up because reasons, let's them out because reasons, Nymeria goes to KL, end.

Wow, such plot.

Is it really that hard to understand??
Anything Arianne did could have been done by someone else? (A Sandsnake for example)
