And I think for many people, this seems a logical argument, which is why I brought it up as playing Devil's Advocate. If you think the world needs to be emulated by the system, the lack of NPC stats seems arbitrary and foolish.

I'm sure it would for some people. Not for me, I was bringing it up to
point out the argument exists.
Other people, for whom the point is (philosophically) that the world
should be consistent and the rules should support the emulation of the
world, are not going to be convinced by your examples, because they
don't see that being particularly fun.
