If he knew how this was all going to go down it makes Bran out to be an asshole who was really just furthering his own ambitions by doing practically nothing for the last season plus.
Why again would a bunch of leaders of well to do houses picking one of their own to be King somehow be "breaking the wheel"?
Also, why does the north just get to be their own kingdom and no one seems to care?
To your last question, because Bran did a solid for his sister!
Otherwise, I completely agree. Makes me think Bran might of "Hodor'd" Tyrion to some degree....I think deep down Bran is a psychopath. If you want to create a police state, no better way than giving power to the guy that knows and sees everything. I'm sure that ends well.
The nihilistic take is that Bran is an agreeable choice BECAUSE he's just a boy, weak and unable to produce an heir. Yeah, you can't plot against the guy, but I'm not sure most of the houses realize that. You KNOW someone else will eventually rule, and that could be your son, by force or otherwise.
