It absolutely goes against what the spawn ending is supposed to represent and this adds fuel to the fire as well:

It's terrible.
And I agree, I clicked on it once, was not surprised by his response at all. There is only one option for us to choose and THIS is what we end up with? Feels like Astarion's dialogue till his last lines about Cazador saying how he's free and him and Tav are equals was written by one person and this one dialogue including the scene at the docks was written by somebody else entirely.
It's as if they paid less attention to his good ending compared to the evil one..
