I've been thinking a bit more about this and I think the reason why it can be pursued despite being a path of illusion is that it is the simply nature of any duality that is sought to be experienced.
The female energy, STS, self within many-ness, everythingness... all of those are things that exist within a duality of something and their counter-part is not truly without them, they are false yet the idea of them is real within the experience of them, they make something other that contains them more complete. STO and STS are the Thought of Love being made complex, each have their own role and as with any duality, there is the default one which ressembles more the original thought yet is made incomplete to contain the original thought without it's counterpart.
So I'd say STS is pursued because Love is more than STO. And eons of STS being transmuted back to STO is still nothing like STO having been experienced exclusively, yet the harvest of them both would be positive.
Ultimately we all are One that sits in a timeless and spaceless void where there is no star, no others and not even dust. All that is, is contained within the ilusionary path of it's duality. The idea of something which springs forth everything, yet none of it real and each of our paths lead all the way back to ultimate truth without distortions nor illusions.
