On my end, I don't particularly care if a character or faction does 'bad' things. I just loathe it when there's no consistency. If something is portrayed as being unforgivable when the antagonists do it, then it shouldn't be excused when the protagonists do the very same thing. Mysteriously there's always an excuse as to why exceptions have to be made which just leads me to not give a damn about all the preachy sophistry.

The fact that not a single character directly calls out Venat is proof enough that it's not worth paying attention to whatever the game tries to pass off as 'morality' because the moment a 'fan favourite' does a terrible thing it'll be excused.

Though I don't look to video games to reinforce my moral compass in the first place. I just want a cool story that makes sense and doesn't require me to be expected to go 'oOh MoMmY' and turn off my brain.
