I agree,

It is a consequence of his world building and how Harry blunders around everything. As soon as you give part of yourself spiritual mass and agency it can potentially split of and become something else.

Just like Evil Bob.

We have no reason to believe that Michael was wrong with the exception of Harry.

Maybe other Denarian-infected people did not have the opportunity to experience that psychic attack, which allows the Shadow to free itself FROM the host, and live it's own existence? The psychic bullets shattered Lash's handcuffs tying her to Harry. She was now free to grow, and trusted Harry would find a midwife of sorts to let her free to live. Harry now free, Lash now free. The old people were like trying to separate conjoined twins... until the right case came along, with suitable support, it was not likely to be successful. Physical attempts could not part the pairs, and we normals are rarely in a position to face magic. But now, a wizard faced magic, and the parasite had had time to grow stronger herself, so... viability?

It is my opinion that it was Butters who really saved Harry in this case, that, and the soul gaze he had with a Denarian the first time he encountered them in Death Masks. The soul gaze showed him what the host is really going through, Harry wanted no part of that. Butters made him aware that Sheila was an illusion, then he realized that the Shadow of Lasciel was in his head. Then his will took over and he was able to resist and finally change her.
