I submit 'objectiveness', explained as faithlessness towards someone or something. The absence or rejection of any personal impulse.
Interesting take! To me the word "objectiveness" would imply something positive, as in being truthful about something. Like judgment and equanimity paired together. Although I've heard judgment being called the opposite as well, and the case for it made a lot of sense to me, which is actually why I posed the question on socials. "Faithlessness" fits the bill better IMO. Then, your last sentence sounds more like a description of apathy... it really comes down to definitions I guess, haha. And also these words have lots of overlap I guess.
I like apathy for it, more than indifference tonally. I think I keep circling around something between calculatedness, callousness and coldness. Also hate, while popularly construed as sign of attachment, seems like a classically true and valid choice.
