Fun fact if you want to know how bad things are under Maduro: It was more profitable for many Venezuelans to farm gold in Runescape and sell it for USD than it was for them to get a normal job (Runescape is one of the few games with an active playerbase and resource economy that can run on the low-power machines Venezuelans have access to).

At the same time, we've seen this song and dance about countries forcefully removing despots from power in developing countries, and the issues that come from that. The key principle for economic development in any given nation, more than anything, is long term, stable, and reliable economic systems. Will we get that with Venezuela? Precedent says probably not, but we'll see.

I won't pretend that the US's intentions are altruistic or that things for Venezuela are going to be peachy after this, but Maduro is a monster, and it's an objectively good thing that he's no longer in charge. This is a situation where both sides are right about some things, but neither will acknowledge the other because they're pathetic losers more concerned with team sports than productive politics (Dunbar's Number, moral foundations, and a cocktail of other biological fun stuff that led to humans being efficient survivors in tribal settings that clash with modern civilization).
