The family name goes first in East Asian names, reflecting the fact that they value family over individual; Whatever the parents' idea of "family" is, triumphs over the children's individuality.

Hence the filial piety and the emotional abuse.
I think you're reading way too much into it. We Indians (most of us, people in the South often flip it) write our names similar to the west i.e. family name last. But we definitely have a "family first" culture.
I think OP has some trauma and just wants to vent.
I must say, in official matters it used to be common to put the last name first here in Estonia. Nowadays it's less common, usually first name comes first. Are we "family first" or "individual first"? Idk, I think we're kinda individualistic, but most people do still value family quite a lot.
Yes.
Lots of trauma.
Sorry, but venting is literally what the internet is made for lolz
