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

[Theodric]

Morrally-grey to whom? Twitter people? As if nobody ever called an animal an it, or wore leather clothing.

Unfortunately Twitter is apparently the crowd that the development team is seeking to cater to primarily these days.

Incidentally, social media has become a den of depravity in recent years and is now host to people openly calling for the deaths and imprisonment of anyone who dares to to think or act differently to themselves.

Which makes the development team's decision all the more baffling, really. They can't be oblivious to the way in which the last two years have played out and as such a story involving wiping out an entire species based on Venat's delusions just felt like a very large faux pas. Especially when it is largely the social media regulars who are cheering on Endwalker as the most amazing story to date.
