People came here to play a game and eventually build something, for some it is PoBs, for some it is something less physical that however takes an equivalent of resource investment, be it time or nerves or mental health capacity.
The only plus of official factions is to pretend to have a say in things that don't matter. Devs will overrule you, they have the say about NPC assets. And circumventing Faction Right consequences is easy. There is also no point in the acknowledgement of being "lore" or "canon" since most people don't care whether someone else is part of that. Being a 1iC is merely an ego-thing, and the majority of the community is 1iC of something. Does that make you respect other people more, because they are 1iC of some faction you never cared about? No. You should focus on things that give you fun and entertainment instead of trying to please other people.
Official Player Factions are not required to log into the game and play. If there is nothing to do ingame, Official Player Factions won't change it.
This, if you're not having fun with the game, re-evaluate things. That may mean leaving, or it may mean changing how you play. I've done both. My method to my current stay is to stop holding responsibilities. Once you get to play for yourself and not others everything becomes brighter
