You just mean they would have different standards. Dogs will happily eat shit and we happily chew mint which supposedly will keep entire species away from an area. If they were sentient robots would obviously be attracted and deterred by different things than we would.
Possibly because the consequences ‘evil’ people get is effectively more like living in their own shit than external punishment. If you only look at direct repercussions it looks like they’re making it pretty well, and even by their own estimates it might seem like that, but they’re really just rising to the top of a story social scale. If you value that it will be frustrating.
