But if he wanted to keep her safe, why not just an executive order for no one to go after her on Earth?
He told his other kids to not harm Michiru and Shouma, but did he think they would not try anything after his death?
His Gavv can still be defective, prompting Dente to turn it into the Red version.
Him being more emphatic and not in agreement with Stomach Inc can be the reason for being an outcast instead of being half human.
I believe the more you think about it the messier it becomes.

I feel at some point this becomes questioning a story solely for the sake of questioning it as there's nothing particularly bad here. It's like if someone called Star Wars bad because Luke Skywalker having little to no experience flying was able to make a one in a million shot.



Why did he have a human wife and had a kid with her? You can say Bouche loved her.
Should we have had moments of Bouche and Shouma before the former died? Not really, it's made clear that the Stomach family is incredibly dysfunctional as a whole, so this isn't a thing just for Shouma and Michiru. After all, Lango didn't care about the wellbeing of Jeebh and Shiita, Nyelv performanced backalley surgery on his own brother, Glotta's trying desperately to keep them together, etc.
Why did Bouche not simply stop attacking humans? Because then he'd have to stop working on dark confections entirely, and if he can keep Michiru alive for certain under his watch, then he wouldn't have to sacrifice his business, for he is a bad person.
Again, tbe family is dysfunctional, Bouche likely never expected it nor would he have reason to. "My word, they seem to be giving Michiru and Shouma are hard time. Marvelous, they must have been listening to me telling them to make them miserable for the sake of survivability, and as I am not omnipotent, I have no reason to expect them to change their attitudes when I die!"
Why not just make Shouma a disabled Granute? Well, there's no other human Granute hybrids, Shouma's the only one of his kind. As disabled people exist, accomodations would also exist, meaning it would arguably be more questionable to change for you as why hasn't other disabled Granute become a Rider?
Why would he change like that? He wouldn't have a human mother who he saw being miserable from her people being eaten, he would have been raised to simply become part of the company without a shred of remorse like the rest of the Stomach siblings.
