This nagging little issue was never resolved. The Gundam Curse. So Delling goes these big robots shouldn’t kill people. People should kill people. Let’s destroy all them Gundams and kill all the people that make them! So they did or so they thought...
A couple decades and change later Gundams are still being produced, are still killing people and one of the survivors of the let’s get rid of them Gundam attacks actions has resulted in the direct and indirect deaths of hundreds to thousands of people.
All of that loss of life from those who died using Gund-Arm to those that died because they were involved in its research to those that died because they tried to halt said research. All of it for nothing.
Ericht Samaya was the one exception. That smaller glimmer of hope that Permet and Gund-Arm might just be humanities ticket to a better future in space. She could have changed everything, but instead they destroyed that chance and with it forfeited countless more lives as a result.
I suppose if sales had been poor it certainly would have been for nothing. Even if Eri, Prospera, and every one else survives this battle the whole show has quite the bleak depressing outlook if it ends with the Gundam Curse still a thing, with people still struggling to live in space. What was it all for?

I don't know if there's any way to resolve that that's not inserting human consciousness into Gundam's that can take the brunt of the Permet aftereffects.
