Because removing random citizen X who opposes you would be pointless. Now, removing a Jarl and then replacing him with someone who will vote for you at the Moot, that has value.

Do we have any reason to believe Sybille is lying? No. You often cite people for saying something and call it evidence. Hell, in this very discussion you cited an unnamed Stormcloak soldier as a source of information for Imperial attacks. Why is it that when an NPC agrees with you, it's proof, but when their dialogue contradicts you, they're not credible?. You do understand that's incredibly frustrating, right?
