This is such a letdown and goes counter to one of the core themes of the game, temptation.
I can't think of any reason why Larian made such a bad decision.

2. The narrative mess of act 3 with many important NPCs do not get any story and everything just being hastily cobbled together.

Because of those things I dont think that BG3 deserves all the hype and praise it gets.
That is Mass Effect 3 and the last season of Game of Thrones combined level of bad.
There are consequences for using the two major tadpoles.
The one that evolves you to half illithid is more of a cosmetic change but an unmistakable warning that you need to stop. And the major tadpole...trust me, you don't want none of what that has to offer...it changes the ending for your character in a massive way...you are doomed to become a normal mind flayer under the control of an elder brain, your companions all leave you, even your love interest, and if that wasn't enough your soul is destroyed...when you die you will be ended forever. It's not even worth letting Karlach use it because while it saves her life in the short term she will be gone forever when she dies...better to let her die now and maintain her eternal soul intact. It's the worst consequence and punishment possible.
