Battle Ground !!!SPOILERS!!!
Yuillegan:
I get that Harry ends up being the only one who can. I am more interested in the why. This thing is likely stronger than Mab or Titania. But Eb is the Council's hitman. So why not use him? See where I am going with this? I think a lot of people will be tied up with other problems or dead.

It does have a lot to do with the fact that he is the Warden of Demonreach. I believe a Titan is immortal, they were regarded as gods at one time. If I remember my Greek mythology correctly, and I just checked Bulfinch's Mythology, they were finally imprisoned in a deep pit by Zeus wielding thunderbolts. There is only one place equipped to imprison the likes of a Titan outside of Hades, and that is Demonreach, so enter Harry. I wouldn't be shocked if he is forced to use the power from the ley lines that run under it in the end. The ones that Rashid warned him about not using because he didn't have the knowledge or skill yet back in Turn Coat. Well, perhaps in that year he lived on the island he got that knowledge?
Conspiracy Theorist:
Harry might have to, to power the summoning for something like a Titan. The other source of power at his disposal are the artifacts, he will have to use one or the other, and as the blood is on the spear he would be best using those, the blood would amplify the summoning.
The artifacts have been various things in history and mythology, I would bet that the spear is actually Zeus thunderbolt. Remember that was Nicky’s true target, the Grail his cup, etc, etc. So Harry wielding a godly thunderbolt to put a Titan into a deep pit is not such a stretch. He has his huge staff kinetic energy spell to fling it like a god
Doing something like that though would effectively be a declaration that he is a nuclear power to the rest of the supernatural world, more powerful singularly than the White Council collectively.

Well, Harry is still a member of the White Council, so whatever he does may get credited to the White Council and/or Winter to some degree.
But being the Warden of Demonreach gives Harry absolutely incredible destructive power (given that he can release the prisoners). Oaths are pretty binding to supernatural beings: if Harry got some ancient horror to take an oath in exchange for releasing it...
But Harry's not going to actually use that power (before the BAT), it would be far too destructive/too much collateral damage.
Conspiracy Theorist:
The Merlin has plans to throw Harry out of the White Council, and they generally don’t know his relationship to Demonreach or his super weapon arsenal, or his access to soul fire (likely needed to use the weapons), or his capability to lead the Wild Hunt.
Terribly funny if they throw him out and he establishes himself as a separate Baron of Demonreach under the Accords, and they threaten him in breach of the Accords and he points out he on his own now outclasses the entire White Council, and would anybody like to join him? Half the senior Council are North America, and the majority of the Wardens look to Harry now, as do the minor practitioners of the Paranet so the Merlin could be left with Christos and Ancient Mai, the old guard and a lot of wizards ill suited to combat but are likely to jump ship to whoever can keep them safe.
The Merlin wouldn’t consider the young wardens or Paranetters of having any consequence, a bad miscalculation, on top of his lack of knowledge as regards Demonreach his super weapons and his association with Vadderung (Odin taught the original Merlin magic), Uriel, Hades even the Erlking etc, they merely think he is Mabs creature.
Harry really can’t release the prisoners, they may be Nemfected and their word untrustworthy.
