I think the reason why we didn't see it coming is that we were all collectively underestimating the show! Like, I actually did notice and think about all the things we were meant to notice as clues, but those things didn't register as clues to me. In fact, they irritated me because I thought they were hiccups in the worldbuilding or the characterization. I was enjoying the show, but the twist gave me so much more respect for it.
