I'm not sure. I feel like it may've been the intention that it was utterly impossible to remove it, much like how some of the characters can't escape their own bad situations (hello, Karlach), but they can maybe transcend them. On the other hand, it's very odd that when Raphael shows up and offers to remove it, he just kind of goes 'Uh, I was kidding' when you accept. That said, only being able to fix it at some heavy cost to others/yourelf also feels applicable to how Baldur's Gate 3 may have been heading (eg Astarion's ascension), and I could see the cost of removing the tadpole being a tough one to bear. Hard to say.
