This also ignores how not all Rider fightings are DGP (this is the JGP, the ones who get reset after this are Jamatos, and Beroba explicitly stated that they will be used as sacrifices to fuel the wish for the JGP?s winner). And their targets being deserving one (including society or entire world) do often can make people forget their atrocities, thinking that they're small prices for the better outcome - the thing is I don't know why some people think these guys' plans will always work out perfectly if let be, and their plans are seen as the only one that can work for betterment, thus those opposing them (not strictly about Geats but various other media) are considred not getting the big picture to hinder that.

I think that even Michinaga fans hardly consider him flawless. Rather, they just like him more than the rest of the riders in the show. Personally, I can't help but be touched by the fact that two riders had to be added to the plot, whose main task for most of their episodes was to think instead of Buffa.
And I also want to mention the numerous betrayals from Michinaga. He betrayed Merry, he betrayed Beroba, he betrayed his Jamato friend and, in a way, he betrayed Nadge. Of course, one can argue that all these characters are villains, but personally they did nothing wrong to him. However, the show didn't give him the opportunity to betray the Geats during their collaboration, which means Michinaga is likely to get away with it.
