I do think Ballas *tried* to brainwash Natah, for what it was worth; given his behavior in the Apostasy and Chimera prologues, he had clearly intended Natah to become a replacement Margulis, possibly as a reward for his selling out the Tenno's weakness to Hunhow if the Vitruvian entries are anything to go by, but yeah, I too am under the impression that the Lotus turned out to fulfill neither his nor the Sentient Mother's expectations, though the latter may have actively rectified this through the aforementioned brainwashing.

In hindsight, though, I recall Natah mentioning "cutting off" the parts of her that were Natah even as she insisted she wasn't Margulis, so I wonder if Ballas might have dosed her with Kuva before the Sacrifice quest (wouldn't *you* want to ensure your waifu is as immortal as you?) and that might have restored said "parts", which would have contributed to her taking her old Sentient form and possibly assisted in her "brainwashing" as much as her Mother's doubtless denial that her daughter could ever willingly side against her in any way.
