40k: would the majority of the eldar eventually become as deranged as the dark eldar if the fall didn't happen? (hexbear.net)

Many eldars were already seeking extremes but the dark eldar do not seem to be the norm of that time. Given time would they have eventually have eventually become like drukhari apart from the few exodites?

During Great Crusade traces of chaos influence among xenos were subtle. What really caused it all to explode was Horus Heresy. And look how human chaos is (there's still barely any chaos xenos in lore), older lore even straight up said humans caused chaos gods to form, like first Bloodthirster was Genghis Khan for example. It also fit the original over the top satirical face of 40K that humans are the problem. Later it was retconned when Warhammer became serious and Imperium is hailed good.
