The problem alway comes back to Larian and their warped idea of fun.
The same way as they dislike normal combat and want you to cheese, Larian wants you to use tadpoles for "kewl, awesom powerz". You can not use them, but in the eyes of Larian you play the game wrong you weirdo.
The same way DU is for murderhobo edgelords. Which is why there is no reward for playing differently.
Durge is the original intended Player Character, all that reduced to just a murderhobo.
