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

[Vahlnir]

The whole Loporrits thing aggravated me to the next level. It was so... embarassing. Venat really thought a moon escape would work?

I mean, it probably would have worked, at least as far as escaping the Source itself. They were ready to go at a moment's notice. And despite the complaints that some may have had about their food, "forest" and clothing they would have survived. Then they would have been blindsided probably years later since the threat wasn't on the Source itself specifically but from deep space, but details.
