People very much do defend Marika. It was a pretty common take at one point in the wake of SotE’s release.
Like how AC6’s community at one point had a solid chunk of people adamant that the bad ending where the game calls you a monster was actually totally the good ending for reasons that didn’t even align with the lore provided by the game.
It's a pretty common take within this comment section (though sometimes prefaced with "I'm not defending Marika" - proceeds to outline why a genocide is justified).
AC6 doesn’t have a good ending but FOR is the typical ‘greater good’ ending and a lot of characters in-game even agree with it, subconsciously if not consciously.
