This chapter really highlights how badly the Yotsuba screwed up when they stripped Tatsuya of his emotions. They made someone who really has no pity and every reason to hold a grudge against them. The only plus(for them) is that he can't really hate them either.
Its really kind of senseless from a practical POV. A little bit of calculated kindness(even if it was fake) and they might've been able to make him a little better disposed towards the family. Now all they have is a magician who is almost certainly the strongest in the family, with magic on par with a tactical weapon and no reason to like them.
Besides, the Yotsuba were founded on [magicians as weapons], not making a [perfect magician]. Regardless of what else they can say about Tatsuya, they can't deny his ability as a weapon. So even if he isn't an all-rounder they really have no reason to complain.
