They must have screwed up extra hard in order to be expunged. I mean the Chaos legions weren't even expunged! Yes, the taint of chaos is not mentioned, and the public is just told about Horus wanting to take down the Emperor in a traditional power struggle. So,therefore the offence must be great indeed, even greater than Horus if that is possible. What could it be, Xenos mind control? Maybe they were eradicated for no good reason and they are removed to protect the Emperor? What if he sensed Horus' deception somehow psychically but identified the wrong culprit, and had an innocent Primarch put down? Maybe that Primarch was born with a defect, maybe mental, and in order to preserve the godly image of the Emperor's genes, that Primarch was euthanized. The Imperium is an unforgiving place, and weakness and difference are not tolerated.
