The character is introduced as misguided, and then within one more appearance is going off on fascist conspiracy theory tangents.
He's not presented as a unique individual instance, but a token representative of a much larger social movement. And, from a storytelling perspective, removing him from the relationship functionally removes him from the plot which undermines the whole point of his introduction. He's supposed to represent a source of conflict, not a trivially solvable problem that you can moralize over later.
It is 100% the classic divorced dad trope
Its far closer to a divorced mom trope. MM fills a maternal role in the story and attempts to resolve conflicts in line with motherly characters. He's non-confrontational, risk-averse, compassionate, and empathetic.
