So see if this information, basics is correct

Zodiark did save through summoning and tempering those who summoned him was the first problem because they will not resist him.
The next issue was that he needed to be kept in check once it was seen what happens with primals.
Hydaelyn became the counterpoint meant to bind him to prevent another tempering, the summoners sacrificed themselves.

Correct?
Mostly, it was stop Zodiark from devouring all the new life, that non-tempered Amaurotians felt should inherit the planet as they felt their time had ended. This comes from MSQ (Hythlodaeus's conversation) and the Amaurot side quests, and from Emet himself and all the previous examples of Primals doing these things, Leviathan with the Shangin Priest, Lahabrea and Igeyorhm being used as fuel for the King Thordan summoning, and Lakshmi only able to create soulless husks from the dead.
