This is just in the character of Ascended/Spawn Astarion. The fact that you find this wrong is another matter. This is not a bug, but your unjustified expectations. The same with other aspects of the game, are you sure that these are bugs and not how it was intended?

Em... Sorry, but it's definitely bugged. Source: datamined files and Larian's own flags. Spawn is intended to stay together with a Mindflayer Tav, not AA. And honestly, I find it surprising that you think the opposite. AA straight up INSULTS Midflayer Tav and doesn't even want to see them. Also AA will always break up with Tav he can't control, like when they refuse to be turned into his spawn. So of course he doesn't want to stay together with a mindflayer, because he can't control them. He is the one who breaks up without any suggestion to try to make it work, it's Spawn who says he doesn't want to lose Tav.
So yeah, it's definitely bugged. So my point still stands.

HenryDoughnut - wonderfully said!! You expressed my thoughts much better than I could ever have. Totally agree with your post.

THIS.
