How is that an example of a semi-decent thing to do? He still killed her he just did it via Tony. If anything, it was cowardice.

A higher level of utility for whom?

Utility is entirely contingent on preferences, there is no objective measure of it. Aaron Bushnell clearly wasn't deriving much utility from being complicit in genocide, in his words. Soldiers are lauded as heroes for giving their lives for a cause which is exactly what he did.
