In whose opinion, exactly?

They're not. Ask a Dara Happan, or a Westerner, or an Illuminate.

It isn't.

Generically because they're perceived as having no sane motivation, and as causing more irrevocable harm. Hence the "Bad Gods" vs. the "Evil Gods", and other similar rhetoric.

Not really, though the "spiritual annihiliation" part certainly is. I think all (?) of Kajabor's "kills" suffered this fate, whereas the names of many killed by Chaos are known (though sometimes, little else).
