Wait till you see the pretty lightshow as you vanish forever in a cloud of gold sparkles!' If they're not alive in any sense, there is no point to making their final moments better. If they are, then, well... it's not a great look for 'heroes' to have coldly killed them all without even thinking how to possibly save them.

And the fact that deleting them did nothing to Sphene, what was the point? Both from writing and player perspectives none of it means anything.

But then again, we're putting more thought and care into this story than the writers and/or producer/director did it seems.
There was no chance to question or try. Sphene was going to commit genocide from the moment we met her. When finally did find out the plan, she just goes full throttle with it giving us no chance to reason with her. Sphene is %100 to blame for the memories of her people getting wiped out. She put us in that position and left no way out.
