What happened in season 5 was an emperor has not clothes moment. The “writers” revealed themselves to be completely incompetent and having the minds of 14 year old boys. There were already indications of that in earlier seasons, but it wasn’t as off putting because the writing was so good.
But from season 5 and onwards, they just went full fuckboy and the quality of the writing decreased because they aren’t witty, they aren’t talented, they don’t care about the politics and they don’t understand what they are doing without George holding their hands.
Plus, their original motivation to get the rights to turn the books into a show was to do the Red Wedding. That was their goal. It is so clear that after they got to do the Red Wedding, they lost interest in the story immediately and when George left, their writing skills were put to the first real test since the beginning. And they of course failed spectacularly.
Fun fact: They were in fact so bad at writing that the original pilot almost got the show prematurely canceled but somehow they got a second chance to make a new pilot with new actors and the rest is history.
