Most of your arguments make Hajime seem stupid, naive, and spineless, and while I absolutely think Hajime is all of those things, I feel like it's a misinterpretation of his character that takes away a lot of agency from his actions.
>he didn't know he was going to be lobotomized.
I'm sure deep down he knew. If a group of shady men you don't know show up and offer you everything you've ever wanted on a silver platter for no apparent reason, make you sign a bunch of confidentiality agreements, your teachers warn you that it's a bad idea, etc., at what point do you start to suspect that something is wrong and dangerous? For me, it would be a big red flag the moment they tried to make me sign something. I would ask more questions, and if they refused to answer, I would simply walk away.
>It was impossible to do without Makoto. You're blaming him for a situation that was written to be physically impossible to solve alone.
This is such a non argument. A big point in the climax was that the remnants stopped doing what they were told and took agency over their lives, along with accepting the consequences. I can think of a lot of better ways to express that in the resolution. Perhaps Izuru left an extra loophole in the program when he set up Junko to test whether Hajime was capable of overcoming despair? Or maybe instead of seeing Chiaki, he sees Izuru, has a conversation with himself, and comes to his own conclusions? The point is that Hajime needs to be led by the hand too often. It's fine to depend on others, what's wrong is not being able to depend on yourself.
>Why do people compete over who suffered more like we're in some Misery Olympics?
Because it would be really fucking stupid to kill yourself because you have a toothache. It was fine when it was vague, but after the anime and a bunch of statements from Kodaka like the one you mentioned, it's not a credible reason, or at least not a relatable one.
