Yeah but ultimately, the peace basically relies on the humans being stripped of all ambitions and dreams, especially the village folk. They can’t discover or build anything new like humans in the real world can and they are actively suppressed in rising above what they are. And if they even were to dare try to leave the village as a youkai, then Reimu will immediately kill them, not because they are youkai strictly, but because they would disrupt the balance of subjugation the humans are put under.

Simply put, even if youkai are more independent, they are actively trying to keep the humans suppressed and under their control. It ain’t balanced in anyone’s favor but the youkai.
