He's never accepted any authority but Dany's yet he's happy for all power to suddenly reside in a motley collection of lords who have made the journey down there.

I guess Jon going north makes sense anyway but once the unsullied leave (and presumably the Dothraki) then there's no one left who's going to care about enforcing his exile. I get why Bran was made king but its a bit unsatisfying when they've spent such little time on his character. I do think there's a lot more they could have done with him but they never bothered. Also don't see why the other lords would see Bran allow the north to be an independent kingdom and not demand the same for themselves. Realistically anyone could easily challenge Bran to the throne but I guess that doesn't matter now as its supposed to be 'the end'

To answer a couple of those...

Greyworm was loyal to Dany but he has been a lifelong slave and has never known how to do anything but follow, so it's not that weird that he allowed / wanted Westeros to pick a new leader so that they could just leave, and also not that strange that he didn't take any drastic action regarding Jon or Tyrion because, again, he's never made a decision like that himself and has always relief on "someone in charge" to tell him what to do.

Secondly regarding the independent North, it was established pretty early on that the North has never been a 100% compliant member of the seven kingdoms, I believe Cersei has a conversation with Joffrey in Season 1 when he's claiming that he'd "get them in line", where she tells him that the North is "too big and too wild to be tamed" or something along those lines. The other six seem to have been in a quite peaceful union for thousands of years whereas The North has always had separatist tendencies.
