I mean maybe you need to see the memory altering thingy from a different perspective (I don't really care though. It's whatever)
Wiping memorys or affection for kirito bit by bit by altering the mind is also some form of corruption and in combination with the context, it fits the NTR narrative as well.
Imagine for asuna, kirito will become just a casual friend after inoda is done but kirito of course has all the lovey dovey memorys with her.
It's like speaking to a close relative who has alzheimers. They don't recognize you or past events anymore. I mean if this has not emotional impact than I don't know what has xD
I do agree that adding mind control this late in development is a questionable choice. As many mentioned asuna is already so far gone that inoda only needs minimal effort to coerce her into sexual acts. However her mind is a different thing.
Maybe fujinos train of thought were that yes, physically she is gone but mentally she still loves kirito. Maybe fujino/inoda thought the only way to fully break that bond is by altering the mind.
Who fucking knows however. I doubt that we get a proper resolution to the game.
I mentioned it before but I have a gut feeling fujino doesn't know how to write endings or come to a conclusion.
Looking at his other projects I would say he is at least very unexperienced in writing them.
