I get the impression that someone at Larian really hated VIconia. People make fun of her, her family, she fails at everything, is the big bad guy of Shart's story, yet is also simultaneously just a stooge. It's like someone was on a mission to portray her tin the worst way possible.
And it's actually interesting to me that they did it in a way that betrays one of her previous core character traits. Before she joins the party, Viccy became an exile from Lolth when she refused orders that were too dastardly for her and they murdered her brother. One of her motivations was "maybe being a mindless stooge of an evil god who doesn't even value you...is a bad thing", and here she is in bg3 being the stooge of an evil god who doesn't value her followers and often pranks them by abandoning them in the fugue plane as a final lesson on loss. So Viccy just...forgot that she doesn't want to be a mindless stooge. So whoever at Larian hates her and wanted to drag her through as much mud as possible for some reason even made her betray herself. I wonder what she did to that writer, and which writer it was.
It's also interesting that Viccy had no happy endings. Her romance ending featured her being assassinated by Lolth. She can never catch a break. Which is a shame since she's a pretty interesting character, and her romance was very unique among crpg romances since she tries to drive you away, rather than the usual everyone jumps at the chance to date the MC.
