Thing is 'Exiled Luke' was already a thing in TFA and that was directly lifted from Lucas. Doesn't seem like that was ever happening in any of the movies. Of course the reasons could be different for each people but at the very least he was going to be used like another Obi-Wan or Yoda.

Sure, but there's a MASSIVE difference between "Luke disappeared on a mission looking for something on the Jedi homeworld out of his usual desire to help," or even "Luke went into hiding to protect the jedi from falling again," and "Luke nearly executed a sleeping child in cold blood, abandoned the jedi altogether, and went to sulk himself to death while the monster he made set about murdering his family, friends, and everyone else in the galaxy."

You can bring a character to a low point without hamfisting some BS excuse to have them throw out their whole ethical core.

This is the guy who overcame hia own struggle with the dark side and redeemed Darth fucking Vader. Surely you can do better than "this angry teenager might do nebulous bad stuff one day."
