Aster :
it's not that he's a drunkard bard and that's all he cares about, it is the fact that he is so good as an archon that he can afford (not monetarily) being a drunkard bard because the way he built the nation, how well constructed it is, allows him, he steps up the moment a conflict appears and finds the quickest way to solve it so everything can go back to normal, to be the free land he wants Mondstadt to be, a nation so loveable I fear everyone would stand to protect it, they have the knights, the Hexerzinkle, the church, Diluc, people up to protect Mond anytime, even with the simplicity a lot of players (including myself) often choose it as their favourite nation, I've never seen the same kind of appreciation for the rest of the nations, Mondstadt is home, the start of the travel, and it's all thanks to it's archon and it's people, even the way he doesn't appear as an archon to its citizens, in the presence of an archon they'd feel pressured, he wants them to be free not because he says so, that's not freedom, so he chooses being a bard, because people love music and calm down around it, Venti is probably the best archon out of all of them, even if he pretends not to be
