Could finally give a reasonable plotline excuse for Harry to wipe out Marcone. (I prefer Marcone alive, but I got tired of Harry's holier than thou attitude, while passively condoning him.. Either grow a pair, take him out and deal with the consequences, or just admit that he isn't that bad, and shut up)
The posturing becomes a bit annoying.

I don't think Harry has condoned Marcone for some time.  They really haven't worked together since before Changes.  Yes, you can say he did in Skin Game but he really didn't have a choice in the matter because of Mab, and that final scene with him, Molly, Mab, and Marcone underscores it.  Yes, Marcone helped him in Battle Ground but again, common enemy and little choice but to accept his help.. However again in the meeting of the Accords after the battle, Harry wasn't condoning anything Marcone was doing though he acknowledged that Marcone would profit from the rebuilding of Chicago, but that is not the same as condoning. 

Fcrate:
He's had a thousand chances to take him down if he could, and didn't, because he - like Harry said to Murphy - is the devil that we know. And he has limits.
Harry recognized that Chicago could do a lot worse that Marcone, and he said so. Now he has hitters savvy in the supernatural, a valkyrie bodyguard, wards, protections, allies, dealings with Mab, and he's eaten two mushrooms and a star to boot. He can't be taken down without a small scale war.
Untill White Night, Harry could've squashed him like a bug, valkyrie bodyguard or no valkyrie bodyguard, but he didn't.
Personally, I kinda like Marcone. He's tough but fair, keeps his people safe when he could, avenges them when he couldn't, and "frowns upon" dealing to kids. A socially conscious drug dealer. :D

Yeah, he could have, but it was to his benefit to use him, until Changes Marcone provided muscle when Harry needed it to take down some significant bad guys, when he couldn't get anyone else.  They were in effect using each other, Harry was doing what it took to get the job done even if it meant rubbing elbows with unsavory types. Marcone in turn was using Harry to get closer to the supernatural world, once his place was assured and Harry not all that useful, he refused to help him any longer as we saw in Changes.

 Interesting mini series on Paramount + called "The Offer" about how the movie masterpiece "The Godfather" was made.. There are parallels which included getting in bed with the Mafia, and it is a story based on fact.
