Ok well the show runners don't write every episode. And they've done a fine job guiding the show for 6 previous seasons, much of which was not a direct book translation. Plus Martin has been involved and they are on record saying he provided guidance for the ending.
As for the timeline stuff, it's kinda funny to see people intentionally pick stuff apart that can be easily explained by necessary storytelling and editing techniques.
Grey worm left quite a bit before Jaime did for Casterly Rock on the show. But if Jaime left two episodes ago, it would've ruined the entire set up for that story.
So maybe the events on the show happen at different times, even though they are shown consecutively. Some scenes that are shown in the same episode could happen weeks, or even months apart, even if they appear to be happening concurrently.
Showing everything in it's true in-world time sequence would make the show insanely confusing and ruin a ton of plot points.
Are some things still inaccurate? Sure, but who cares? It is artistic liberty for the purposes of moving the plot. It would serve no purpose, except to satisfy pedantic complaints.
