Why are you so intent on making a problem out of something that isn't there? Most anime adaptations have ZERO input from the original author on basically everything. Kawahara basically had almost no say on anything that was related to the anime, other than giving the source material.

That said, the artists still have to follow the main-story, and only make changes when they have to, for one reason or another, unless their contract says otherwise. Stop blowing this out of proportion for no other reason than to make a fuss out of it.
