Why is removing the Bamos a reason why Hashem will not save Chizkiyah?

1.

Rashi (Yeshayah 36:7): He destroyed all the houses, Bamos and Mizbechos of idolatry 1 , and forced all of Yehudah to bow in front of one Mizbe'ach.

2.

Radak: He did so only for his own honor, so everyone will come to Yerushalayim. The Bamos were l'Shem Hashem! Malbim (Yeshayah 36:7) - it is more honorable for Hashem that people serve Him everywhere!

Metiv Shir (the Netziv), 5:6: This is difficult. Destroying Bamos of idolatry is a merit! (Rashi holds like he wrote here, that Ravshake said that Hashem desires [that we do] idolatry. Refer to 18:17:2:1, 18:17:2:1 2
