Leperman really ought to put a spoiler on some sections of his posts.
Nobody really likes Hathaway.

The only reasonable explanation I can think of is a way for Tomino to tell parents not to neglect the upbringing of their children because they might do stupid stuff that'll screw up the way they think for rest of their lives, and if there's no intervention it'll likely get progressively worse. He doesn't even fit into the standard newtype mold, because newtypes are supposed to understand each other in a way humans can't. The character wasted his life because of misplaced infatuation towards Quess, while newtypes with his ability routinely talk to floating streams of consciousness like Amuro and Lalah, or comatose Kamille communicating with Judau.
