Because their ancestors were enslaved by the illithids for countless generations. It seems to me that this is not conducive to the union.
It's funny, githyanki don't like to hear a lot of ugly things about their race, mostly because they're all true. The first and foremost is that they're a bunch of hypocrites; obsessed with "being free" that they have become convinced their manifest destiny is to conquer & enslave every other race in the multiverse, and they hate religion but worship the Warrior-Queen.


Lich-Queen*. And they don't consider it worship, just intense devotion, but on the outside-looking-in it's definitely worship. But don't tell them that :P And yeah githyanki hate illithids for the whole "millennia long enslavement, torture and experiments" thing.

Well, considering the amount of her souls eaten, she is very close to god (or demigod) power.
"In truth, instead of sending them to paradise, Vlaakith drains their souls and absorbs their strength, gaining more power with every "ascension". Vlaakith drains their souls and absorbs their strength, gaining more power with every "ascension." Her knowledge of arcane magic equals that of a conclave of archmages, while her combat skill matches the combined talents of hundreds of sword masters."
- Mordenkainens Tome of Foes, p. 86.

By the way, BG3 for some reason includes her in the list of Gods. Although in the fifth edition, she, at most, could act as a otherworldly patron for the warlock (The Undying).
