I think you forgot that Shirou, in fact, has choice because he's originally VN protagonists with the VN itself providing multiple routes; easily mandatory for him to have choice. Sieg didn't have that.

I don't see any actual reason to blame the author for making Sieg a homunculus. Why? Sisigou and Amakusa are also there, both experienced and showing that Apo's HGW is not for bystander, not to mention Karna and Achilles who won't give a damn even if you're lucky boy with magical sheath inside your body.

From writing standpoint, Sieg homunculus state grant him access to join the war. It also allowing him to 'absorb' what necessary to join the war, contributing to his growth as well. Still better than being legitimately OP on most games just because you're a former VR beta tester. IMO.

While you complain about his development and straightforwardness, then again-- he's not even 8 years old. His companion are childish (in a good way) and pure too, kind enough to value his life, so there is that; I'm pretty sure if you're on his position, you wouldn't life that long if you following Vlad or Avicebron.

He's a child, growing up seeing and feeling the war directly, of course he want to justify his life. Unlike MCU's Vision who has Jarvis as basis of his personality. Unlike Illya too, who have luxury of expensive educational phase accompanied by maids, large guy using stone pillar as sword and creepy white old man obsessed with True Magic.

Here in Grand Order, he has that accumulated experience. Surely make a difference, isn't it? You can't really compare it to his Apocrypha self.
