1.) SA:MP can only realistically represent real life in so many ways, and having things match up exactly with real life would be boring? I mean, we've got real life.. so why do we need another one. RP intends to replicate real life but also add some entertaining elements to it so that you have a more enjoyable time.
2.) People are lazy or too incompetent to make their own scripts, some people don't have the time, some people don't have the skill and some people just want to run a server with 0 effort. There's no problem with running a server with a script they are allowed to have with permission of the original owner, that's kind of the point of sharing scripts and if servers go to the effort of heavily editing a RP script making it almost original then its fair enough. I can understand that some servers just copy the same script with 0 effort, and they run for about a month at most with a playerbase of maximum about 20 (and thats stretching it). An RP server needs a good script, a good community and a reasonable, level headed and responsible administration team with dedicated developers who are willing to put the time and effort into their server.
This isn't to say there are no original servers, there are many. In fact, its very easy to weed out the copies and fakes with good communities. The original servers appeal to people for different reasons, be it the community, the location of the server (in regards to GTA Map) or the systems they have in place. It would be nice to see a complete overhaul on the whole RP genre in regards to SA:MP and I think its possible, there are many ideas which would completely change the way roleplay is perceived (in my opinion) but these require dedication and effort, not starting a server up in a day and starting from there.
