Because it's more fun to keep to the black and white mindset? And for me because I can't just turn off my own filters, so that would actually be minor mental torture (very minor along the lines of a major annoyance, but certainly enough to guarantee my complete hatred of this book when I would much rather enjoy it). And just because human beings are flawed (something we all are) and capable of doing both good and bad (something, once again, that we all are), doesn't change the fact that those things are good or bad. And there will be heroes and there will be villains, because heroes can do bad things and villains can do good things, but that isn't what decided whether they are the hero or the villain.
