Basically, all they *needed* to do was destroy the Orokin and ensure they wouldn't be able to colonize and ruin Tau, but they seem determined to go above and beyond that goal and destroy *everything* in the Origin System, regardless of whether or not it actually posed a threat to them, which kinda tips them slightly more toward the 'evil' end of the scale.

Incidentally, Lotus's method of "maintaining the balance" with the Tenno in hindsight just seems like a benevolent way of protecting Tau *without* screwing over the Origin System, leveraging the ambition and expansionist tendencies of the two most ambitious actors in the System against each other so that neither can fully replace the Orokin as galactic oppressors nor risk their ambitions and desire for conquest/profit leading them to attempt to colonize Tau. All this without either party suffering the full threat of imminent extermination that in the past had driven the Orokin to weaponize a zombie cancer plague and field body horror flesh golems powered by forsaken children, nor risking the creation of a power vacuum like that which led to the rise of the Corpus and Grineer in the first place.
