HUGE plot hole in the Vault of Glass raid

OK, so remember that quite fun Vault of Glass raid that was out since vanilla? Yeah, quite fun indeed isn't it? While a great raid with interesting mechanics, there is, I have found, a HUGE plot hole. So the Vault was basically to imprison Atheon because he was deemed dangerous by the Vex, right? So we have to go kill him because the Vex won't do it themselves, but why? If they were unable to, that's understandable. But why were the Templar and all the other Vex trying to kill us? Wouldn't it be easier if we just killed Atheon so they didn't have to guard all that Vault and stuff? They could turn it into a factory or something to create millions of vex units. What do you guys think? Silly or legit? TL;DR: Atheon was a prisoner of the vault, so why did the Templar and other geezers try to stop us from killing him? Wouldn't it be a favor?

    ....well you start off wrong so.... Atheon isn't a prisoner. Now that I have a moment let me explain a little bit. The Vault of Glass is how the Vex want the universe to be, a construct where they have ultimate power. It's unknown if Atheon created the Vault or if the Vault created Atheon, but it's because of this that i believe this is a temporal causality loop. Essentially... the Vault was created by Atheon so that the Vault could create Atheon to create the Vault so that.... (this goes on infinitely) While I'm here, no Atheon's not against the Black Heart. The Garden was actually the Vex's attempt to further the power of the Vault into all reality. Yes i know "but his name!" Yea yea that means something more interesting actually. Atheon is derived of atheist, and eon, it's not that he doesn't believe in the Black Heart. He doesn't believe in time.
