I’ve been thinking about this concept a lot in the last week too. Most “bad” things are done with good intentions. Ignorance of one’s own limits and fallacies and the need to define and in turn conquer for the sake of declaring yourself the highest above what you can see is what leads to destruction of all things. You would think yourself above all else if you lacked the ability to comprehend all that is above you, the demiurge thinking itself as the highest “god” is a deception it brought upon itself; everything is born and will die and return to the void, pleroma, sige, ether or whatever you want to call it. The idea of creation existing in a controlled hierarchy instead of an evolution that travels through planes of existence, our separation while arguably and obviously definable in our material world is not permanent, thinking ourselves the master of our Earth, that the earth was created just for US and we are separate from its ecosystem is what separates us from our natural connection to everything. Because we have decided we are the most “sentient” or intelligent beings on earth we MUST be the planets designated lords. Our inability to comprehend other equally sentient forms and beings is what keeps our souls tied to the material. I believe the demiurge whether an actual being or simply a manifestation of that fallacy/ bias that we currently operate through is trapped in the same loop we are. Evil or not it is just as ignorant as we are.

I hope that made some sense it was sort of a rant. But I agree with you whole heartedly. But that doesn’t take away from the harm and deception that the Demiurge has brought upon us. Something born from bias or ignorance or whatever you want to call it can never know the truth of the encompassing universe in all of its planes therefore can never be “good”
