7.1 is a total dumpster fire, but 7.2 might have potential (rant + theories)

You've seen it, I've seen it, we've all seen it. The quest that exists only to waste two great characters so it can glaze Fatui (a global criminal organization btw)
I went and looked at the whole quest's leak. (you can do so from here)
First let me address the elephants in the room. I can basically summarize the quest like: "if your name isn't Tsaritsa or you aren't a harbringer, you have 0 braincells."
What the hell do you mean that Rhinedottir of all people got manipulated by Tsaritsa so easily? Did she really believe she'd get free information for the cost of NOTHING? And Ronova really got TRICKED into GIVING UP HER AUTHORITY?? WHAT?? HOW???

With that out of the way, now for the theories. You're telling me that the Shade that helped humanity knowing that she could get punished by the Heavenly Principles just randomly decided to try killing people for no reason?? And Rhinedottir also agreed to this??? Why? Like I can't even find any other words. What is the motive??

That just makes zero sense. I know this quest exists to sell the Fatui and Tsaritsa, but what?? Also, that one part, the one where Traveler says to Ronova: "All you are is a set of shackles used by the Heavenly Principles to keep humanity under control. And you've never even known true freedom yourself."
That makes me REALLY worried. in the end of the quest, we learn that "she took a fatal injury but may have lived if she somehow escaped without us noticing" and we heard about Asmoday and Asmoday's master (likely our Twin) was in Snezhnaya and Asmoday used some sort of teleportation. I believe Asmoday and our Twin may have saved her. Maybe they all had a plan together. It could be Istaroth too, but idk, that's not the point.
When the Traveler said: "All you are is a set of shackles used by the Heavenly Principles to keep humanity under control. And you've never even known true freedom yourself." to Ronova, she said "..." before continuing, which might mean that she actually cared about what we said. If that's the case, then we might have her returning as an ally, which is actually pretty cool (some people also talked about how similar Ronova is to Raiden, so it may be possible, and/or she might have a real motive we don't know about yet).
But do you know what's not cool? If they ruin her design like they did with Sandrone, I will actually be so sad. I can't think of any other words to say how sad that'll be. I'll be even sadder if they change and ruin her personality. (And also, would they REALLY get rid of RONOVA in 2-3 patches..? Surely not, right.........?)

We want Ronova, not The Shade of Death. Please don't ruin her when she eventually gets a design change Hoyo (she will, right? she'll be playable, right...?)
