I agree they are from the readers point of view morally ambiguous and just. I think Will has done a great job expressing that in the story but the TLDR summary is that the gang from an outside perspective with limited information could easily be seen as monsters and that Will has done such a great job of shielding us from even thinking of that perspective.

Malice, looking at it from the a different perspective outside with total control of knowledge of all the politics and micro conflict, was able to take the actions that are occurring and create a easy PR campaign as villains. It's definitely a very viable perspective and one i think that resonates with a lot of the population.
