Its indeed possible that the farmer may not care very much, but I doubt the same is true for educated Malkioni. The Rokari Church's conception of the Invisible God is, after all, inextricably tied up with the Law rune, which certainly suggests a dislike for Chaos. Elves are evil, because they seek to destroy civilisation and damn mankind to Hell by denying them access to the Holy Church. Broo are a worse evil because, being chaotic, they want to destroy the whole of God's creation. There are many times that that distinction won't matter, to be sure (being damned to eternal Hell is not, after all, a barrel of laughs), but that doesn't mean that they can't or won't make it at all.
