That's my main beef with the thieves guild and dark brotherhood questlines too. I witness firsthand the depravity they routinely sink to, have a change of heart, decide to destroy their organization from the inside, or at least report their lair's location and lead a squad of law enforcement to bust them... only to find out I can't. Because Bethesda wants me to follow the rails, and no other reason. Even when NPCs tell me how bad a person my character is for continuing those questlines, there's no option to quit.
