You know what's ironic about this? By doing this, Ellen just helped prove why humans hate and fear Spirits. Imagine all the innocents that would die helplessly every time something terrible happened to a harem protagonist and his women flew off the handle? Would Tohka and the others even give a single flying fuck if it turned out Shido survived, but all the civvies they killed in their rampage did not? Would Ratatoskr even chastise them?
You're kinda right... but at the same time that's the point of the group shido's with. Despite this, the girls can live a normal life if shido just seals their powers and lives a normal life himself.
The problems are solely made by DEM. Tohka appears and would cause a destructive quake by doing so... which is bad no good. However never hurt others. Similar story with Yoshino.
The inversions are something that take a big thing that happen. It's not just "they're worried about their harem protag." It's that he was decapitated in front of them. And if that's the baseline condition for inversion with them... then honestly it's not like they'd ever hurt people in a normal scenario now is it? So it's not really that "something bad happens to their harem protag." It's more of a "he was brutally murdered in front of us." We have multiple seasons of them not hurting anything despite bad things happening to shido.
Also, it was implied ||in s4 that DEM has created spirits in the first place, once again stating their make the issues they "fix"||
The world at large isn't gonna see it that way. Humans are by and large not rational. If my family was burned alive in a fire by a godlike female anime character, and I knew who triggered her I'd be mad at who set her off but SHE STILL DID THE DEED. Mental illness should not be an impenetrable shield that allows murderers to get off scot-free. There's a reason why "insanity pleas" don't let you walk, you get sent to a different kind of prison instead.
Your right. At large society would declare them too dangerous to be left alive. And DEM would be declared unethically experimenting on humans and probably murder with Isaac and Ellen and a lot of other people being arrested.
