Dragged through the vortex without the protection of the TARDIS, is like a capsule re-entering the atmosphere without protection - it burns up. Sutekh spread himself so thin in bringing extinction to the universe, that he was weakened. A rough trip through the vortex was enough to rip him apart, with the only possible way to remedy the damage to pull his essence out from the worlds it scattered on, undoing all his work. But it wouldn't be enough - the Doctor was merciful once, he would have given Sutekh a whole universe on the brink of death for him to savour, leaving him at the end of time. This Doctor, however, having seen his offer of kindness spurned, now shows what the fury of the Time Lord really entails.

I rather loved this scene it was very poetic and beautiful. I guess the reason people don't like it is because this almighty "god" was killed so easily yet he wasn't killed "easy" they had to go through a lot to do it. Besides it was implied that it had been a little while since they all were dusted anyway since Ruby and Mel were in new clothes. Now I do believe that it wasn't a very long time but they then took the rope which could hold a Tardis together and they attached it to Sutek. They then dragged him through the vortex and this time he wasn't clinging to the Tardis so he was exposed to all the time energy and finally was aged where he died but not before his effects were reversed.

I was thinking the same, the amount of costume changes definitely insinuated that. I also liked the bring death to death part as it felt very mathematical like 2 positives or 2 negatives
