We only have seen 7 episodes so far and in these 7 episodes there have been only 3 problems of other people than kirino, 2 of those 3 include kirino though. You pointed out the problem of Manami, the single one without Kirino. The other 2 have been Ayase and Kureneko but since they have to do with Kirino it is hard to recognise. Fact is Kyousuke helped Ayase too, and she even thanks him for the lie in the message she sent him. Kureneko is very hard to tell by the anime only since they cutted a very important scene out of it. It was when Kureneko was sitting alone in the living room, note she did not go home. Kyousuke brought them to spend the evening together.
Spoiler for Ore no Imouto ga konna ni kawaii wake ga nai episode 7 missing scene kureneko leaving:


I understand your opinion about the anime skipping a lot of details. not sure why they do that or what their plan is on where to end the anime and how much more they make up on their own. we will just have to be patient.

I cannot agree on the "taking for granted" attitude of Kirino though. With only 2 scenes where she demands his solution, as stated in last post, we have not much evidence for that. She is helpless in both situations, when Ayase runs into them it is a surprise, the second situation was after her own attempt of making up with Ayase failed partly. Her eyes might have looked too aggressive, but that's how she gets kyousuke to do something. As 'reward' she spends time with him playing a game via multiplayer mode. might be the first game they played together in years. All other situations Kyousuke acted on his own, or Kirino made him feel guilty before asking for help (porn in browser-history, impossible request to get hit by a truck, ect.).

We do not know if Kirino apologizes to Kureneko or Saori. We only know what happens around Kyousuke and I doubt she is saying sorry to kureneko or saori in front of kyousuke.
Despite working as a joke the dump truck sentence might have been also used as filling up the guilt-bank to make a reasonable request more accepted. this is one of the few scenes converted from the novel correctly and in order in this episode. But this again is just speculation as we cannot see Kirinos mind, just Kyousuke's.
