I don't see it as a big deal though, at least, to a certain extent. I mean, you can say that these characters don't contribute to anything, for some that may be true, but I see it as they contribute in a way to help make the atmosphere of the story more relatable and realistic (And yes, I know it's about vampires but still) which is pretty much of how the majority of these minor/extra characters function anyway. Simply put, they're just fillers that help give the story's atmosphere more (What word am I looking for?).

Anyhoo, I say to a certain extent, because while it might not be such a bad thing creating such characters when done properly, I have to agree that SMeyer may have gone a tad overboard with adding just way too many of them. So I see it as, creating such characters might not necessarily be a bad thing if not abused.
