I think what people are getting at is that the war islands are not just the
average place where rulers have "political friends" or alliances or
diplomacy. They are meant to have no diplomacy so that it's just pure
warfare. So having these realms conduct diplomacy anyway, despite the fact
that the islands mechanics are designed to exclude it, is contrary to their
whole point.
