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

I still fail to see how "different" her character was between Venat and Hydaelyn. Unlike literally every other Ancient, she was probably the most level-headed and consistent Ancient between her time in the Unsundered World and current timeline. Everybody else turned into, as Emet-Selch puts it "megalomaniacal madmen" heck you could even start to see give into that during the one scene with the Convocation in their desperation.

I think that's the problem, the sundering/the aftermarth seems to have driven the unsundered ascians insane, where as Venat was able to betray and unmake her own civilisation and apparently isn't affect at all
