You seem to laboring under the misconception that life (or the narrative) is fair.

Nobody earns redemption in real life.

Deucalion is the more interesting character with far more potential - damaged by Gerard and past ties to the Argent family are ripe for story telling - so, he lives.

Kali and Jen's story of friendship and betrayal came full circle and was resolved in a way that suited the narrative. Jennifer got her revenge. I can't imagine that the actors who played Kali and Jennifer didn't enjoy their arc. It was a great story of power and corruption and they played it well.

The twins live for two reasons - they provide romantic foils for two of the regular characters and they help draw in a female audience.

I wonder though, had the twins been girls or brown, would sparing their lives have been okay? Does it help that one of them is queer?

A third possible reason for the twins to survive is to provide cannon fodder for 3(b).
