To some modern treat enjoyers, having villains actually just be willingly evil assholes would be "cookie cutter" and make the story seem "one dimensional."
Why though? Magnificent bastards who act entirely out of self interest, but then do things that make you think "damn, that was smart/devious" are fun to watch.
My favorite villain of all time is Lorne Malvo in Fargo season one.
The Fargo villain from season 3 was also great. I loved how slimy, creepy and possibly full of shit he was.
Like, he can apparently brick your computer if you search his name, but his operation is apparently formed by him and two guys.
Oh yeah he was great too, but nowhere near the level of Malvo
All the villains in Fargo are great and none of them have a point. Jon Hamm's character in season 5 is completely selfish and petty and self-aggrandizing and he's a terrifying villain.
It's possible to add depth without making them activists.
