Rogue conifer - worth saving?

[JMH]

We have this rogue in the garden that I have been trying to get removed but the rest of family want to keep it. Over the years two tree surgeons have chopped the top off in the hope it will try to get back into shape but it continues ever outwards. Personally I'd remove it but is there anything that can be done to shape it or otherwise persuade it not to become an inverted pyramid? It's essentially empty, there is no green at all behind the outer layer of green.

Looks healthly to me many are half brown on the outside as they dont sprout from the old wood once pruned back

Out and through the chipper in an hour providing there is not much of a drag . They leave a bit of mess to rake up . I don't like them in gardens , out in the wild is different . The only plus I can see is its a warm roost for local birds .
