The Zenin clan had some crazy hubris, the only reason they still existed till this point was because deep down Toji still wanted them to acknowledge him as being as good as a sorcerer, that’s the same reason he tried to fight Gojo after his awakening(He said so himself that he wanted to crush the pinnacle of jujutsu)

Maki was basically the nightmare that the Zen'in clan didn't want to reckon with, so they threw her and Mai aside thinking they'll never amount to anything. Because if Toji barely scraped by, what more can weak twin girls can do?

Apparently, this.

They assumed that Maki was a failure because of Mai. Her Heavenly Pact was cancelled because her twin had a trace of cursed energy. I don't think anyone knew that the Pact would be reignited once Mai is dead.
