I'm really curious to know if this issue extends to other Ultra shows too, of it is just a result of this show's age.

I agree, I also have those feelings. But it is worth noting that the characters sometimes talk about it themselves, like Ide in the Jamila and Wuu episodes. But still, in the same Ryder, where most of the enemies are reasonable and very angry, cruelty towards them is more justified.
