For a number of reasons.
In the game mechanics, resurrection is possible; in the plot, it's a unique case. I mean a full-fledged resurrection, not necromancy.
In the game mechanics, you have to pay money for every creature. I think that's clear. Angels, demons, dragons, skeletons – they are all hired for money. From a plot perspective, this is absurd.
In the game mechanics, creating Armageddon in Steadwick or Free Haven does not affect the plot in any way, and Armageddon itself is an extremely powerful and rare spell in the plot.
In the game mechanics, blasters are far from the strongest weapons in the game. In the plot, however, they kill much faster than almost all types of magic and weapons.
In the game mechanics, you can easily mow down Krigan demons with Dark Magic. In the plot, they are resistant to many means of destruction on the planet, and the main characters destroy them with blasters.
In the game mechanics, there is a spell called "Dimensional Door," which allows teleportation.
In the plot, such cases of mass teleportation over huge distances are rarely recorded.
In the game mechanics, a barbarian can reach the fifth level of Wisdom and Intelligence. This will not affect the plot at all.
The list could go on.

everything is correct :)

I just meant the case where, according to the story, Angels do not belong to the Erathians (or human castles in general), but in the plot, they are their allies (and in the scenarios, they are bought in castles).

By game mechanics, I meant not only what Xel listed but also the game's possibilities in general, that is, for example, which creatures can be bought where.

Damn, Xel, did you buy the Library of Ironfists at a Sotheby's auction, or do you have a textbook on the history of Enroth for universities? :)

4. The rest is either not entirely obvious or applies not only to HoMM but also to MM. And we are considering HoMM.

I thought we were talking about the entire MM universe and how it is implemented in the games.

by the way, Draco, you should see Armageddon in the city in MM6.

A fairy tale... for a maniac :)
