Anyone else skip the vassal stage entirely?

Perhaps it is something about, for some reason, actions taken by your liege raising your right to rule that really sit wrong with me, and maybe it's laziness, but in the last few times I played the game I skipped the vassal stage entirely, going directly from becoming a business mogul with a business in every city and having sent every companion to speak for me (I send them IMMEDIATELY after recruiting them so they don't have time to find out that a person they don't like has gone and refuse to do so themselves), to gathering an army and charging in.

In Brytenwalda I used a Lair to house my troops, in Gekokujo I took over an Ainu Village (in Hokkaido, the northernmost island) for that purpose, in some others I did a surgical strike on a weak fief from a faction already in multiple wars.
