Well yeah but you caused it to happen so yes you did do it personally.
Probably so they could live with themselves afterwards. It's one thing to say, "just kill them all and be done with it", but its another carry it out. They just aren't those kinds of people and we have to accept that the author wrote them that way, because if they were being pragmatic, the series would have ended already.

Glass would have killed the other three heroes on that Ship when she first met instead of brushing them off, which would have basically screwed them over right then and there. The moment she didn't do so was the moment you basically had to accept they're basically half-assing it. So while we can complain about them playing nice, which is a luxury they can only afford because they're basically stronger than the protagonists, the series would have been over if they were the kind of people who would have gotten this done already.
