It's not diluting good though.

Most people fit within their place in society, obeying its rules and social mores. Hence why I say most people are lawful. If you still fit within society but dislike how things are, wish it could change, operate a bit outside of it, then that veers you neutral instead of lawful.

The distinguishing of good neutral to me is how much you care for others. Good people want the world to be a better place - tip more, vote in ways they think help society, assist others in community groups, etc... even if you dont have a lot of impact, wanting better for other people (and not doing things to make things worse for others) makes you good, to me.

Neutral I see as apathy. A lawful neutral person fits into their spot in society, but cares considerably more about themselves than others (good people prioritize themselves too, but put more effort into others). While a neutral person may tip, vote, etc do things to make society a better place, if it's from the realm of wanting life to be better for themselves and not really caring about others so much, then that trends neutral.

Given these definitions, I still see a lot more people as lawful good than lawful neutral. But that may be my optimism speaking.

Chaotic good are like... hippies. Chaotic evil are serial killers. True neutral are hikikomori - people so apathetic and removed from everything.
