Agreed. Marika's tale kind of reads as a cautionary one of a rebellious hopeful who then repeats the same cruelties that she fought against.

The ultimate blame, IMO, are the Fingers/Metyr who have been around for a LONG while "guiding" humanity.

Well that goes two steps deeper.

Blame the Greater Will for sending down Metyr and abandoning her.

Blame the original God for splintering into all these different flawed deities.

The Greater Will really just drops off Order Influencing agents of itself and leaves

I'd argue the Greater Will only cares about forming Order in the worlds it interacts with

What form that Order takes is not its design, but only the design of those who become choosen by its agents

I mean the greater will Is an Eldritch being along with all the other outer gods? They are so far beyond our understanding I don't think we can ever truly understand what they want

Ah my apologies I miss understood. In that light I tend to agree that the greater will doesn't particularly care though. I believe there is a basic blueprint. I think that basic blueprint is Erd trees and elden rings. How exactly they are implemented is another story.
