Our Emperor couldn't do much about treacherous people he can't have a kill all humans policy.

And what was the Imperium's policy towards treachery? Kill them all. They still have the policy that they have for xenos. For the sake of humanity's ultimate prosperity, they have to reserve a certain amount of trust to humans to begin with.

So why is it "worth the risk" to try to befriend the xenos? What guaranteed gains do we have? That we'll be betrayed by some is pretty much a guarantee; it has happened already.
