Or alternatively, that you want one product to do two mutually exclusive jobs.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but that is what I felt i read. it's not fleshed out, but I felt it was implied.
My view is simply that Vol1#1 was the story. Everything written after that was an attempt to build on that story, extrapolate from it new ideas, etc. But it Is written as a single short story, without the foresight of what it would become.
To me, it's like an episode of the Twilight Zone. A strange story of natures revenge against man.
maybe you are correct that certain elements may need to be teased out, but that comes with the territory of transitioning media from one form to the next.
