Like would it be so outlandish to just have random NPCs fill in the slots at least? The writer having to come up with forced explanations to drag around characters that have no reason to be there is not doing the game any favors.

And maybe only simplify mechanics to be AI friendly only when you are actually playing with AI?
Yeah it gets annoying there developing the game around trust I wouldn't have minded the trust system if they waited to implement them similar to ff11 at a point where the population of the game is low enough to warrant trust and the game not getting major support anymore.
