In a perfect world...
It would be as you say, and the Emperor and Council would anath everyone needed. The Empire is not in a perfect state right now, however, and would slip from existence without immortal intervention at times. Personally, I believe Imperial Immortals are fed up with the Empire being a newbie friendly cabal, and fed up with Citizens not realizing what the Empire is all about. So examples are made. What is left is most likely the cream of the crop, and in time, their example of what a citizen should be will help new citizens learn how to behave, at all times.
It's been said before, but I'll say it again... there are tablets, and laws which dictate how you must behave. Immortals do not intervene... on a whim. If they see something is wrong, they have every right to do whatever they please. I think this temporary setback for the Empire will, eventually, make it stronger, more interesting, and a better challenge for the experienced CF player. And I think in time, it will be as you say, with the council being in charge of anathing all who need it... but for now, that can't happen.
In short, I, as usual, have no idea what I'm talking about.
