So you are pointing out that season four of the TV show was missing the vast majority of the content that made the story good in the book the season is based on…
Idk about "vast majority" but a lot of detail was missing. Book 4 was set entirely on Ilus. The Bobbie plotline was a sort of adaptation/edit from Season 5 (or what might've been going on in the background) and Avasarala's plot was entirely invented for the show. Done to not make those actresses sit out an entire season.
Drummer also wasn't even in the books at this point beyond being a side-character (very different to her book adaptation) and Ashford was a completely different character, and jailed at this point.
Ilus was a lot more detailed plot. I don't dislike the shows interpretation of it, but they had to trim a lot.
