Why should they? Isn't he supposed to be the manifestation of HHWB as you said?

Yep. now you wanna uselessly cross over arguments here or what huh? don't like my idea? isn't that a shame....
Arjan:
the main reason would be that you want to have some plausible alternative to the death penalty. if the only thing a warlock can expect is to get killed you have nothing to negotiate with, the warlock has no reason to surrender and every reason to take as many with him as possible. It makes them into cornered animals.

Namely undoing the taint, if done right, would be more like restoring to factory settings than fundamentally changing their personality, like Molly did. Also, Molly didn't know what she was doing when she did it, and subconsciously wanted to hurt the guy.
That assumes all you'd be doing is undoing the taint. In which case, you aren't doing anything to change the part of their personality that got tainted in the first place.

You can meddle as much with someones brain as you want as long as you get the persons permission, it is just a form of healing after all. Give us permission to cure your black magic or we cut your head of probably counts.

I mean as we know evil/corrupted Foo Dogs are a thing, so Harry having one isn't necessarily an endorsement.

Eh.... Permission under duress might make it legal under the Laws of Magic. But I don't know that, if you know that it's under duress, you wouldn't get the taint. And giving permission under duress doesn't mean that the warlock wouldn't be trying to resist it all the same, getting that conflict and psychological trauma anyways.
Now, if for some reason a warlock did seriously repent and want help, and thus cooperate and consent to that, things would probably go easier for everyone involved.
