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

My lvl 90 LTW WoL: "Wow, very efficient! Cutting out the middleman."

The other one that comes to mind is that NY fate with the sentient mochi, where it's summarily put to death... and the Allagan chimera in Azys Lla that's growing too smart, so it apparently has to be put down. There's countless instances of this stuff, but for a character that normally butchers just about everything in sight with little question, the butterfly thing is a comparative nothing-burger, so I can see what CrownySuccubus means by them trying to push the idea of it through that reaction, irrespective of how much (or rather, little) sense it actually makes.
