Rant about the trope

This manga shows a glaring problem with the saintess summoned from another world trope. These random people kidnap and basically imprison a girl (typically an underage girl) and expects her to solve their problems with the demon king and save them even though the saintess owes them nothing. Sure they shower her with gifts and praise her but that doesn't change the fact that they are random people who trapped her in another world and wouldn't send her back before she does what they want. These girls are forced to partake in politics, literal wars where they can die, and have to serve a country that she's not even from and puts her in an uncomfortable pedestal for being the saintess. I suppose there is an appeal of this trope to young girls in real life since who wouldn't want to be thrust into a world where you are the center of everyone's attention and surrounded by hot men who worship you, but realistically speaking, especially in this manga, the girls are just normal people who were living their lives and then this suddenly this happens to them and theres nothing they can do.
