You really can't compare the normal process to what happens with Emet-Selch, who spent 12,000 years as a ghost and before that was an Ancient tasked with overseeing the Underworld (Lifestream) itself. After the events of EW MSQ are dealt with, he finally allows his spirit to go back to the Lifestream to go through the normal process. That's not something most people can do and I have no idea where you got the idea that it was possible for more mundane people.
Asahi literally mentions watching Amon puppeteer his body against Zenos and getting mad. Asahi dies in Stormblood. It is later revealed it is Fandaniel who taken over his body.

The only way Asahi knows it is Amon is puppeteering his body and not Fandaniel is if he was able to watch the events unfolding from Shadowbringers to Endwalker the entire time. Same person, but the person who pops up in the Aetherial Sea is Amon. Asahi should not be aware of any of this if he wasn't able to see the events unfolding.
