Sometimes it isn't even a case of looking to call someone out. Sometimes one simply needs to acknowledge wrong was done and go on with their lives afterward. What's done is done, but that doesn't mean it isn't worth a moment of reflection. This is especially true in the case of past atrocities, whether or not they in any way impact people of the modern age. To disregard them is to risk repeating them one day.
I agree, which is why in terms of story it would've been redundant or perhaps even more of a dilemma if it tried to deep focus on Venat's actions whether it be right or wrong. Which wasnt the whole point behind the MSQ anyway, it was about stopping the Final Days. At the very least the game does give you the option to give your own opinion of the matter in that one part where you discussed about the Ancients with the Watcher in Mare. It's also very telling that due to the experiences with the Ancient's trying to do everything without regard of other people (including Venat) is why we nowadays get portions of a story with the Scions having to consider and discuss their plan of actions with other groups of people like Garlemald or the people of Norvrandt rather than just not caring and do whatever the hell he want.

And with the way the game already gives a sympathetic light towards Emet and his actions and a lot of other characters for that matter, its no brainer why Venat would also get a pass as well.
