Nyelv doesn't seem to view humans in general highly, where, like the other Stomachs, he only wanted Dente back to make the Stomach Inc. prosper (albeit it can fit his suggested status quo motivation you brought up here), and he clearly views them as mere tools, too. Having an attachment to one specific person doesn't mean it applies to others in general.

It's likely, but I think the problem is not about how Shoma is a different species, but about how, like Hanto's mom, Shoma may be seen as an indirect cause of Michiru's death. Hanto's also a generally nice, dorky type, but he gave Shoma a cold shoulder upon the reveal at first.

I wonder if what I said here qualifies for being said Bouche hater. Otherwise, I do see people now blaming Bouche for how the Stomach siblings turned out, due to his neglect, thus he's the worst of all due to being responsible for all Shoma's suffering, so yeah this should explain clearly for you. It's probably a hot take, but I view Bouche as relatively better than the Stomach siblings for having some positive traits, like giving some help to Shoma (about Dente modifying his Gavv or preventing the siblings for attacking him, not about feeding him sludge though) or not treating humans strictly as a farm, but people judge based on consequences. Stockholm syndrome seems to still qualify for the kidnapping though, and Shoma claims Michiru has always hated Bouche.

Yeah but no way Nyelv is saying that out of sympathy for the innocents.

Depends if Rakia would be detonated or not upon defeat, though it seems that the major characters don't get destroyed despite exploding like Glotta before.
