Most people at the time knew that in the past and elsewhere, clothes and armor were different. If nothing else, even the uneducated had heard stories from the Bible that detail the kinds of clothes people wore, and anyone educated enough to be painting for a living or illustrating manuscripts would have studied older artwork including some from the Romans. The difference is that they considered historical accuracy much less relevant than relating to their audience, so they presented subjects in the clothes that would immediately and obviously portray their station. The artist of the Morgan Leaf from the Winchester Bible would have seen changes in arms and armor over his lifetime, and he would have known that the people in these scenes from the life of David would not have looked like 11th-century natives as portrayed:

Once they understood the difference, they would have considered it odd that we don't portray 11th-century knights in Kevlar kneeling before a king in a tailored suit, though they would also have deplored the disgrace caused by the plainness in which our kings dress.

If it has the Volcano and the Cool Ranch Dorito stuff then we're all set. I'm not going back even if they fix it.

Riker is ultimately one of the best possible examples of a character who doesn't make sense from a Watsonian point of view because he was used for Doylist purposes. Realistically, Riker should have either left for his own command or taken command of the Enterprise if they'd ended up going with killing Picard in the Borg arc. Instead, he stays on the show in his same job because he's a well-acted, charismatic fan-favorite who's also a military administrator with no technical specialty: in other words, he's the ideal audience-insert character to ask people like Geordi or Beverly to explain a complicated concept so they can have expository dialog for our benefit. For those who know Stargate SG-1, he's strikingly similar to Jack O'Neill, whose most common script function is to say "uh, can you try that again in English?" in conversations about archaeology or theoretical physics.

That said, they did do a decent job working with that in-universe. There's actually something compelling with having Riker's story arc play with the idea that sometimes a person can grow to regret their own ambition, discovering instead that they can actually grow more by putting down roots for a while than they would have by doing the most that they could. But it doesn't really work in the long run, and there's a reason he was always depicted as a Captain in every glimpse of the future.
