That's a good thing, not a bad thing. I hate flat black and white tropes. Why would you want to take away deapth from your characters?

I have a load of antagonists with detailed backgrounds and depth to their characters who find themselves opposing the MC. Which is nice, but it is now making my MC and narrator feel overly understanding. It makes the world seem as if there aren't really any unkind or evil people. A bit like how there are no real monsters in Scooby-Doo. I suppose I want depth without an understandable motivation. Evil, but interesting...
There're aren't evil people in reality either. "Evil" and "good" are simplification labels we like to stick on things to make decision makimg shortcuts, because no one got time to psychoanalyse random humans.
Also, just because your antagonist or "bad guy" has a reason of why they do the thinfs they do or believe the things they believe, doesn't mean your protagonist has to care about it. That stuff is mostly for the reader. Protagonists are people too, liable to use the "good" & "evil" labels and not give it a secomd thought, just like any of us.
