Why not? What is so bad about reminding people of the good that could come from this, if it were not for the missing pieces.

Terry has created an interesting project DESPITE his illness, not BECAUSE of it. It's very likely templeOS could be even greater without it. I've experienced personal projects being helped and hindered by mental issues and obsessions.
Mental illness often causes struggles in other parts of life. How much more effort could an artist (or engineer, anyone can build and create), devote to their work if they didn't have those struggles in other life scenarios?

I disagree. Were it not for God's mission to fulfill, I believe Terry would not work day and night on it.
The disease makes you constantly form connection between things that are not related. It is a constant creativity generator humming away. Every Shizo lives in a spynovel. In Terrys case one where he got to play the all seeing controller he imagines behind every person. The OS is the sickness and its solutions are created by the sickness.
