Admittedly, what other way is there to do it?
He wanted to make people disappear, so he had to somehow start somewhere.
It makes sense to choose the easiest first, and that's why he chose Yui because he thought she would be the easiest.
He was wrong about that, but he accepted the fact that he was wrong and continued to help her until he achieved his goal.
Everyone needs to start somewhere.
Also, I found it interesting how you referred to the minor characters disappearing as 'killing them in a most unsatisfying way'.
What's important to remember is that disappearing isn't the same as killing.
Rather than thinking of their disappearance as 'choosing to kill themselves to escape', it's much more like 'deciding it's time to move out of a rented house, leaving it and getting on with your life'.
