It is a divisive scene, but mostly because of how Agate treats Tita; I've never seen someone talk about it from this angle before. It's been long enough since I've seen the scene itself that there may be aspects of it I'm not remembering... I do think it's worth pointing out that Estelle and Joshua are fairly inexperienced teenagers. They're broadly competent, but I don't think it's that surprising that they could panic or miss an opportunity in the moment.

I don't think it's a great cutscene or anything, but it didn't bother me anything like this much. It will be addressed to some extent in the next game why Agate was more inclined to focus on Tita, but I'm not sure that will actually change your opinion.

I don't think there's any real risk of you not seeing Estelle and Joshua as actual characters by the end of the game. Some of their remaining scenes are among the most memorable in anything I've ever played or watched. It is true that for most of the game, they're kind of swept along by the tide of events, though.
