Especially if you contrast Emet-Selch with Midgardsormr, someone who is just as long lived as Emet-Selch, and has not only seen the cruelty and hate of the sundered races, but has been more a victim of them than Emet-Selch ever has been. But still - he thinks they have value, and works to protect them as much as he would protect his own children.

(Also, given he was the architect of both the Garlean and Allagan Empires, Emet-Selch kind of has his hand on the scale when it comes to judging the sundered races.)
Midy also has first hand knowledge that being "Unsundered" doesn't really matter much in terms of ability to survive as a society long term. Or ability to be decent. After all, the Omnicrons were a "full race" all those dead stars he passed on the way to Etheriys were from "full" peoples and look what it got them.

Midy has more reason then anyone to not really buy what the Ascians were selling. He has no reason to believe even if they got what they wanted they wouldn't end up the exact same way as any other dead star. If anything he would probably find them extremely arrogant and naïve to the wider universe.
