Because total war games aren't about Big Blobs smashing against each other in wara of attrition/strategic maneuvering (read: what an actual Three Kingdoms scenario would've been like)
They're about small blobs conquering each other until the player creates their doomstack and stops having fun. No amount of fancy battlefield improvements will change the fact that the greater context of the campaign determines the situations of the battle.
Add in that your armies require a general, there's no major logistical systems, and that the AI spreads out forces, it's better to attack along wide fronts to engage as many of the enemy at once, instead of letting them consolidate and pull their cheatstacks out of a single province.

You have extremely heavy Jin cataphracts vs the Song and their gunpowder wonderwaffen.
And then the Mongols appear out of nowhere and horse archer everyone to death.
If that's not enough "le unit diversity" there's also all the other cultures next door you can include.
However it'll suck anyways because it'll still be a total war game.

To be fair, I imagine they would have probably split Wei and possibly even Wu into smaller factions if they actually ever got to any late game scenarios.
