Daniel said Armand turned him "out of spite", but that might even be true (as they see it now) AND still be DM friendly.
This Daniel definitely didn't ask for it, was clearly on Louis' side the whole time, and if there was an eventual shared past revealed, I doubt it would have changed Daniel's mind regarding wanting to be with Armand NOW.
So Daniel very well might think Armand turned him out of spite, to rob him of his agency at the end of his life, and Armand might agree to a point, even if he did it out of desperation (because Daniel was dying or in an effort not to be alone).
There was a lot of spitefull pettiness in book!canon DM, why should we expect (or want) much difference?
He's still Armand's only fledging. Armand refused to turn someone for Louis before. They want us to think it's all about Louis, but it's not.
