i'm gonna go ahead and say that someone does not willingly cloister themselves on a mountaintop and swear off violence for thousands of years unless they actually mean it. on no playthrough did I ever kill him because theres no justifying it. which i think is a failing on bethesda's part; they failed to write a convincing moral quandry into the game surrounding his fate. he is clearly a good guy and nothing Belle Delphine says actually provokes any new thought or doubt about paarthurnax's redemption
I think Bethesda definitely believed restoring the Blades would be enticing enough to justify killing Paarthurnax because of the role they played in Morrowind and Oblivion, but for people like me who haven't played either game I had no such attachment

I mean, restoring the agency run by the guy who sold his shirt to pay for Skooma isn't exactly a thrilling proposal.
