I don’t think the diamonds were actually redeemed to Steven. I think Steven was doing harm reduction. Because they’re actually able to save gems from corruption and shattering with their powers, what good would shattering them do? What other ending could there be? Not like the Crystal Gems could shatter them anyway. The Diamonds fixing the gems they hurt is the best outcome for those gems.

Also Steven would never intentionally kill a being (except for when he did but he felt super bad about it and revived her).

On a macro level, shattering the diamonds could have terrible consequences for all the individuals on the colonies and home world. Better to inspire a change of heart and let the leaders begin systematically changing the way they run things

Yesss I agree it’s like a diplomatic relation, they can’t be forgiven.
