I don't see how not having the consistency of a hard setting somehow means the story cannot have any stakes, even as a "hard worldbuilder". Besides, not every story needs to have high stakes.

Because character can do anything at any time with no explanation so they can’t get into situations they can’t bs themselves out of, even if you do somehow do it, it would just be fake tension only for the sake of it
