If Zodiark's summoning was deemed a bad idea and if he was causing problems, why would Venat's faction then summon another primal like him who also tempers? Yes they were tempered but you have to keep in mind Zodiark's purpose and also the way the tempering works.
Posts like this are so depressing, and everything I feared at the saddening revelation in Shadowbringers.

The community is turning against Hydaelyn because she's a Primal and treating her with suspicion. I so much miss the days when Hydaelyn was assumed to be benevolent and Holy.

I basically dealt with the sad and disturbing news by accepting that summoning Primals may not necessarily be a bad thing. And that Primals themselves could be a force for good, or rather that not all Primals were bad.
Perhaps our original mission and outset, being a Primal slayer, was a flawed one. As not all Primals are a negative or malevolent force. I want to believe that Hydaelyn is a good Primal, and will believe so until proven otherwise.

Hydaelyn is a comforting character for me, and maybe it's illogical. But I want to hold onto hope that one of my favourite character is not secretly a villain.
