Mostly cause like, when it comes to entertainment... I feel like there should be some level of enjoyment for the audience. There's no fun in watching the heroes achieve their goals when the main villain their facing is boring/lacking some sort of charm that really wants you to see the heroes win.

I guess sorry, to specify better, humans' dark impulses seems to be one of the factors - mainly about "forbidden fruit" (fascination with forbidden things) and villains being a fantasy for the audience to be rebellious and wild.

But I feel that charming villains can make some people root for villains instead, or even worse, excusing their behavior (also painting the heroes opposing them as bad) so it feels right to root for them to win. Extremely hateable villains to audience's eyes like Micchy, Banno, or Gai (both of them ) seems to be more likely to get the audience really want to see what's coming to them (and get satisfied for that).

Yeah, this'd be fair to want to see the divide of humans and Bugsters. Parado was announced as the main antagonist in the preview after all, but Kuroto served that role for longer time before Parado actually got that starting from ep. 23.
