What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

[KizuyaKatogami]

Said civilization had zero qualms about throwing away half their population twice over and were perfectly willing to commit genocide of every new life born into the world just so they wouldn't have to feel sorrow or despair and recluse themselves into ignorant bliss of "paradise". The rest of the Ancient population making decisions aren't exactly of high standing moral character either.

How is sacrificing themselves for the betterment of the planet throwing lives away? I guess most of the protagonists in the story are just as bad as them then considering they’ve done that time and time again. It wasn’t every new life form. It was a portion. Hythlodaeus says as much so less not try to force a narrative that isn’t there hm? Besides, how exactly is this any better than committing genocide to all life on the planet, and and causing mass murder?

I'm not forcing any new narrative. Its established that they were willing to sacrifice the new life that was born unto Etheirys after the Final Days. I also never said it was better than what Hydealyn/Venat did, nor was I attempting to.
