alignment only seems one dimensional because that's how people are approaching it.
what is stupid is how evil is always some form of "f--- you, pay me" and good is always something "i'll save you!" sort of tropes. evil means self interested and discompassionate, it does't mean by default malevolent. good means selfless, but it doesn't mean benevolent by default either.
likewise, chaos doesn't mean complete and utter formless abandon, it is the opposite of "lawful" so is closer to anarchy. the stereotype of the frenetic madman as chaotic neutral is so stupid and reductive. someone who is neither good nor evil, not firmly anti establishment is not, by default, a lunatic.
