>Also, if they were truly able to stop the storms from happening at all... why do the storms still happen at all and need the youkai to stop them?
It's about the consequences of them. They can stop the village from suffering any kind of damage rather than trying to diminish the odds and having failsafes.
>You literally pointed out that Reimu can in fact let outsiders out at all times
I pointed out that while Reimu may participate in letting outsiders out, it's never stated explicitely. All it says is they head to the Hakurei Shrine, which is explicitely noted to be a special gateway. Reimu can act on the great hakurei barrier but it's never stated if she can act in a way to let people out or just the barrier overall. Her whole thing about maintaining the barrier is also referring to her resolving incidents.
The real point is this, the villagers don't want to leave anyway. Even the old man who brings up the idea of the village being a ranch for meat in Lotus (is apparently quick to discard when Miyoi pointing out they don't eat humans nowadays anyway) doesn't bring up the idea of leaving. Villagers know about outsider, they (should) know about them leaving thanks to the chronicles, but no one has ever asked, even FT chose to become a youkai to leave the village but had no indication of even trying to leave Gensokyo, he saw the outside world and how different it was which made him want to leave the village, but nothing about leaving Gensokyo. Maybe they don't want to leave.
>And you are literally posting a panel from like one page away from her saying that all these parties want control over the village so humans will not rise against them and break out of Gensokyo's chains.
And one page before that she says whatever they do won't affect their lives, it's literally right there >>46489148

I also forgot about the newest CoLA and found this in it, neat. Youkai arguing against killing humans.
