You're repeating everything you said previously. I disagree.
Balduran's friend was clearly in the right and The Emperor's decision to kill the friend of his human host confirms that Ansur was correct. Balduran was dead and some awful pantomime of him remained - which will also be our fate / Karlach's fate if we don't opt to die at the end of the game.
We need a "no mind flayer" option and we need to be able to denounce The Emperor without sounding like a petulant child.
The Emperor retains some of Balduran in him, that's pretty obvious to me. But it sounds like you're just biased against all things illithid, so good for you, I guess, that you can make the Emperor the villain in your game.
