Perhaps, but even for the sake of this idea you need to allow yourself to at least mentally go beyond the boundaries. As for terrible actions for the sake of good goals, violence is almost always preceded by first attempts at a peaceful solution, then a little bloodshed, and only then comes the time of massacre. Another thing is that these most unsuccessful peaceful attempts can be kept silent if the party plays the role of a villain in history. The exception is marginalized people with mental disabilities, for whom the idea is just a reason, and the primary desire is violence.

While one failing would possibly have no one surviving, I don't understand the thinking that the extremist's plan will always guarantee better results or fulfill their or the fanbase's expectations. If Takatora actually gave a billion Driver to a billion humans and exterminated the rest to prevent them becoming Inves, what's the guarantee of the surviving billion to live normally or prosper? Like them failing to adjust to the world's changes (reminder Helheim would still took over), turning into warring species until last man standing (like Roshuo's case in Femushinmu), or still getting blindsided/foiled by other worse villains' plans.

I think it's not so much a matter of finding an acceptable outcome for the future, but rather justifying Takatora?s motives. It is obvious that he looked into the coming future after the rescue, concentrating all his efforts precisely on the production of the maximum number of drivers. And in general, Gaim is a show where at the beginning the hero unknowingly kills a friend to save people, and in the end he does the same thing, but consciously.So within this story, the need to sacrifice lives for others is justified and it makes Takatoru closer to the good guys. And so, yes, I agree that it would be very difficult for the remaining humanity to implement his plan.
