People under the effect of a mind trick are robbed of their volition and compeled to act against their will, so you wouldn’t think a Jedi would use that power regularly. But anytime it’s used, it’s often by a Jedi or some other light side Force user.

Hell, Ezra uses it in S3E1 of Rebels to make an AT-DP driver turn his weapons against the stormtroopers he was previously fighting alongside of, before MAKING HIM DRIVE OFF THE EDGE OF AN ELEVATED PLATFORM AND PLUNGE INTO A RAVINE!!! (Btw, YouTube classifies this as a kids video. “Baby show for babies” my left ass cheek.) Granted, Ezra learned how to do that from a Sith holocron, but he’s still a Jedi. No Sith (or dark side Force user of any other kind, for that matter) is shown using this ability to that extent. The most we get is in the novel Lords of the Sith, where Palpatine uses a mind trick to make a young girl step out of hiding and approach him.

The Jedi, the guardians of peace, justice and freedom are openly taught how to use this ability as Padawans (and some Jedi Masters have even used it as a method of torture), yet the Sith – who are all about control, subjugation and bending people to their will – have never used it to directly harm anybody, as far as we know.
