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

Looking back there were so many other ways that they could have gone about Venat that fans speculated about, ranging from crazed AVALANCHE environmentalist motivations to handing mankind back the reins of history like the Venat of FFXII attempted to do.

Of all these outcomes, they really did end up going with "grown up Hermoine Granger refuses to tell anyone about the major crisis about to occur, tries to do everything her way and then destroys the planet while the story props her up as a hero."

If Venat was like Hermes on crack regarding motive even that would've been better. As much as I dislike Hermes he at least actually did something pure evil out of malice, even if that malice came out of nowhere for no good reason.

Hell, even if the sundering was an accident like I thought was a possibility I would've been happier with that.
