Sure, he purged Stratholme, but you can't really deny his logic in doing so. After he got Frostmourne, he was a mind-slave to Ner'zhul who had a vendetta against the Burning Legion. But after he became the Lich King, he erased Ner'zhul from the Lich King persona. So why did he decide to become evil? It was clearly a choice, considering he tears out his own heart.

He didn't actually erase the persona of Ner'zhul. In point of fact, these two beings merged to make up what was collectively known as "The Lich King".
