Even when we get to see the narration of Illidan's death in Black Temple, there's no remorse. Not even in his own thoughts. He acts astounded that Akama is betraying him, even after he was already caught. Illidan does not recognize that he's been a piece of dogshit individual. Maiev is the only one who even bothers to have an agenda for trying to kill him, and she does so out of her own self-interest (Which I like, don't get me wrong), rather than just him being an asshole.
Akama got the rawest end of the stick and nobody gave a shit except him. And it's because Illidan knew how to fight the Legion, therefore it was ok that he was being such a terrible individual.
