As Yukimi said good intentions don't matter if you take things too far. Saving lives should be the means, not the end, protecting freedom and happiness is the ultimate good. Actually one of the nastier secondary Riders was an extremist too, Kaito, wanting to free the world from social darwinism (noble cause) by destroying and recreating it (though ofc by then he became anti-villainious and the final boss).

I completely agree with this.
