Lucifer changed of his own free will. He became toxic. I can only imagine how much God tried to help Lucifer to see the error of his ways. But there was no way to reach him. Cognitive distortions became fixated in Lucifer's mind. It had gone to the point where he would not repent. Not to mention, he was spreading his toxicity by convincing other angels that God was the bad guy (gaslighting). War erupted in heaven. Whether it was a physical, verbal, emotional, or mental warfare or a combination thereof, the peaceful happy home of heaven was destroyed during this time period. Order and tranquility needed to be restored to the heavenly home. God put His foot down. Enough was enough. Since Lucifer and his "flying monkeys" refused to repent, He kicked them out of heaven. Such toxicity would not be allowed to exist in His heavenly sanctuary. However, the fallout of this pivotal moment caused a ripple effect, even affecting those innocent creatures not yet created. It grieved God to see innocent beings affected by all this.
God shows us repeatedly throughout the Bible that it is okay to set boundaries. In fact, He encourages us to implement boundaries to keep us safe. Anyone who tells you otherwise, does not understand that a loving God has appropriate and healthy boundaries. As human beings, we are created in God's image. So let us follow His example and bravely set firm boundaries.
