The Sundering is effectively identity death. Aside from making the afflicted individuals weaker, it forcibly separated the Ancients from their families, friends, neighbours and pets. Not only that but it robbed them of their memories and was pushed upon them without their consent.

Once again, I'll post this as it comes from the writers themselves:



The Sundering is not presented as a positive thing or a stable state and everything that came afterwards is a consequence of the Sundering itself. It's worth noting, the Ascians initially attempted to work with the Sundered and even lived amongst them - only to find them lacking and far removed from their own loved ones who they wished to bring back. Some of the Scions outright admit that they would do the same thing if placed in Emet-Selch's position.
