This is of course only an assumption from me - but has unfortunately always proven true in other games so far. Once extreme content has been started, it has always gained the upper hand in these games. Would be very surprised if that would happen differently here. And there are probably already the calls for even more of it from his patrons....You've said this several times since the update dropped and I'm curious why you think that. They were both choices. For my part my MC shooed away an annoying dog, saw the man mountain suplex a dude-bro, had a pair using him as an ice cream cone and then left with Lia when she woke up.
Again, this is the decision of the dev, and of course there were already the tags for it from the beginning. But I'm still sad to see that this really good corruption part of the game will probably now fade into the background.
