Squinty is arguing for itachi not being so weakened by not using up large portions of his chakra getting rid of the clan

2. Itachi ended up being useful to the akatsuki

3. Sasuke wouldn't grow up hating itachi and become estranged from the hidden leaf

4. Depending on how much he saw of itachi's confrontation with sasuke he could've guessed at that itachi wanted to be killed by sasuke and would end up dying anyway without obito's interference.
