This I feel is a key point. The soul and memories are supposed to go to the aetherial sea together. But Alexandria separates the soul and memories. Did this keep them from returning to the aetherial sea possibly?

It's possible to interpret what Cahcuia said that way. She said their existence was unnatural. Plus since this is the IX expansion, it's entirely possible this process was similiar to the Iifa Tree, which was preventing the souls of Gaians from returning to the crystal.
