As do I. You are right that they did a smiliar thing to Lancelot but at least Lancelot found peace due to Merlin's help in the end, unlike Uther who was even sent back to his own personal hell by his own son, regardless of what he may have to deal with in the Spirit World. Since Merlin really cared about Lancelot's soul he did not even consider the possibility that Uther may have to face unbelievably terrible suffering in the Spirit World. I think it is hard for us to comprehend such things because we do not have to deal with such events. Unlike Merlin to whom an afterlife is quite normal. He should have cared about what might have happened to Uther in the afterlife since he witnessed first hand that even Uther was just a human being and had died a violent and painful death.

It is even more astonishing that Arthur did not care about his father's soul fate. I would have expected him to question the circumstances when suddenly being told off by his father this way and witnessing that he even tried to hurt Arthur's loved ones as well as attacking him. He also should have considered the possibility that he condemned his father to eternal suffering when sending him back to the Spirit World without a redemption of his soul.
