I do believe and try to uphold that sentence, of course while upholding the laws of justice and what's fair (punishment and reward)
But guess what? We play video games like GTA or read novels like these to see Mc b1tch slapping people who merely cursed him once to death, not to read about a saint.
A saint is, imho, objectively bad for fantasy novels because they are too passive. And a protagonist who is merely passive and reactive instead of active is just a straight recipe to losing reader attention.
