I call it the 'stupid evil alignment'.
Not just you its a fairly common trope. I think TV tropes even has a pretty extensive page on it.
Video game evil tends to be, more often than not, stupid evil. RPGs tend to do this pretty badly quite often with both your enemies and the player character evil choices. Since its easier to design you doing something remotely bad and classify it as evil action. Sometimes you can do a purely good playthrough, and only turn at the end to do the bad thing. Since it was all a grand big plan to do the big bad. Still will have good alignment probably.
Thank the gods BG3 has no alignment at least. That's one bullet dodged.
