In real life I could buy that explanation. But tell me, at which point have Cersei, Euron and Qyburn shown any kind of honor?

In fact, Cersei had hated Tyrion all her life; had tried to kill him multiple times (hiring an assassin just recently to do so) and now that she had him right in front of her, she suddenly had a change of heart?.

And that is without taking into consideration the fact that she had been told by a witch that a younger brother would kill her so SHE HAD EVERY REASON TO BE SCARED OF TYRION AT THAT POINT.

Maybe the scorpions just can't aim downwards

After all, they were built to shoot things out of the sky.

Nope. You can clearly see them aiming downwards at the beginning of the scene.  And let´s not forget that they were used against ships a couple of episodes ago. Besides, at the distance they were, I´m pretty sure regular arrows would have done the job just fine.
