And I'm perfectly cool with that. I'm especially cool with Jon - as long as he stays just some lord's bastard, and not the prince's long lost son and child of his true love and messiah who will save the world. I'm even cool with Tyrion getting his special place in the narrative because he really is an incredible character, no matter how boring his chapters were in ADwD.
But I disagree completely on Daenerys. This series has so many great female characters who, in their own way, become powerful and overcome the limitations their world puts on them. And they do it with the weapons they have, every one of them in their own way. The same was true for Daenerys in the beginning, but somehow she lost this aspect of being the powerless underdog more and more when she got her dragons. And even though she can't control them, she is still RIDING A DRAGON now. She's verging away from "powerless underdog who somehow ends up fighting/using the system" to something entirely different. So, there are women I want to have a special place in the narrative, but Daenerys is not really one of them anymore. I find Arya, Sansa, Asha, Margaery, and others way more interesting, and I also want them to succeed much more than Daenerys. Buuuut that's just me, we all have our preferences.
Also, let's not forget that GRRM is, if anything, cruelly realistic. And even though the powerless sometimes succeed and win, just as often they fail and are cast down. All three of them coming out on top would just be too much.

And isn't it kind of unfair to put all the rich, well-born, and sometimes handsome men in one big pot? Because this series' powerful lords are all so incredibly different from each other that they deserve better than that, and I really hope that not all of them will end up dead or powerless or otherwise defeated. At this point GRRM is almost overdoing the "let's kill/maim all the great lords" thing.
