People refuse to accept that Renoir is genuinely just as bad as the rest of the Dessendres. Clea and Renoir have a very utilitarian approach to the Canvases, they do see them as real, they just don't really care and feel superior to them and in their right to do whatever they please.
By the time the player is even allowed to make a choice, Lumiere is already fucked and everyone but four characters are gone. There's a lot of ways to interpret the story of Lumiere. You can look at it cynically, that hard work and sacrifice can be nullified by an act of god at any moment and that no legacy is lasting, or you can treat it as something that has left an indelible mark on Alicia. But that's why it's a tragic story, no matter what you do shit's fucked.
