She was the nuclear deterrent preventing other countries from attacking, and since the legendary first commander was there when she was a child, their kingdom was likely safe for virtually the entire last generation. She herself has not gone out to a battlefield in a long time; I would assume that the first commander raised her to be strong enough to protect the country, then got tired of politics and left to get milk.I mean, it ISN'T just him. He just had the highest authority. They did also note that stuff the subordinates were supposed to do were also getting pushed onto her. Everyone in the knights genuinely shat the bed on their work ethic, and she was there literally holding up the pillars and keeping them straight.
Unfortunately, it seems she was never taught politics.
In short, all of the other knights were raised in a safe country where a committed enemy offensive was unthinkable. The knight commander was ceremonial to them because they didn't realize how incredibly powerful their knight commanders were. I wonder if there is also an element of MAD where countries prefer not to deploy their knight commanders and risk both becoming scraps for neighboring countries.
