Obviously a forced Balance Breaker is not its full potential. Azazel himself has observed that Longinus are highly expandable and can grow a lot even past Balance Breaker, which can be shown by Tobio's Abyss Side Balance Breaker, for example. In Volume 9 he deduced that Leonardo was still a rookie by how the Hero Faction hadn't sent monsters capable of killing Gods to every faction, which proves that as far as Azazel is concerned, such a possibility exists in Annihilation Maker.

And obviously, since Sacred Gears are fueled and shaped on desire, a forced Balance Breaker will not be as effective as something that is gradually shaped through mastery.
