Never understood the notion that he's a DMPC. He's an NPC who needs rescuing, similar to Mordenkainen in Curse of Strahd. Yes, he does destroy the Efreet Lord (that the PCs presumably set loose) in a cut scene, but how is that any different that if the PCs recover a special item (magic lamp) that allows them to unleash a Djinn Lord? Or a ritual that allows them to banish the Efreet Lord without combat? I think that the problem people have with it is that the PCs don't actually fight the Efreet Lord (even though they can, but will probably die). The first time I played, we killed him right after we released him (sheer luck), giving the Lost Tomb less meaning, but we freed him anyway.

Well, if the PC's get an item, that's still something THEY wield!

It's really the combination. You arent allowed to kill the efreeti, cuz railroad. You need to get someone else to do it for you, cuz railroad. It was the start of 2nd edition's tendency to (poorly) force a pre-determined narrative without doing the legwork required. I greatly dislike the Dragonlance adventures for the same reason, but those are rightly called out. For me, it isn't the worst adventure on the list, but it is the most overrated IMO.
