i don't agree tbh we only see him recruit 3 kids and none of them are through force, although i guess you can argue that the choices they are given are illusionary in the sense that the other option is death/being handed to the zenin. however this still isn't up to gojo considering both yuuta & yuuji pose great dangers to society. if they refused to cooperate, there really wouldn't be much else to do to save humanity lol. and i think the biggest difference between the higher-ups & gojo that people often overlook is their ideologies. the higher-ups actively push out & punish kids who have non-traditional techniques (such as hakari) while upholding the status quo. they are raging misogynists on top of that, which is in line with their traditionalism. gojo is drastically different in that sense and that's why he ultimately decides to kill them
