Yes, I thought that comment was a bit strange, too. I spent much longer on this game's sidequests than on those of BG1. Irenicus had everything going for him as a villain - he looked like a villain, he sounded like a villain. I just thought the fact that he used to be an elf and for whatever reason now looks like a human was a bit strange. Agreed, they probably could have done something else with the plot. I still enjoyed it thoroughly, though, and even though the fact that he always seems to be one step ahead of you is annoying, it's at least realistic. He'd been orchestrating most of that stuff from the start of the game.
