Given what we knew about Namika prior to her death, I didn't get the impression that she willingly decided to become an endless, and that Sphere made that decision on their behalf as part of her coding to protect and serve all her people, who she considered Namika to be one of.

So I also started to view this as. a mercy. How many of the endless lived full, happy lives, and made peace with their end that were afterwards forced to continue to live for eternity?
Sphene was perfectly fine and accepting of people who did not want to wear the regulator, there is no indication Namikka was against wearing it and everyone was aware of what it did and was doing.
