Also, it could alter an entire species on a massive scale, and I do not feel entirely sure that such a power could only be used for good, like it was for the Highbreed. The Ultimatrix, which was a weapon, could transform other beings into its aliens against their will, though the Omnitrix could do something similar with the bioids. So, we have mass mutation and absolute obliteration to choose from. What more does the Omnitrix need? But none of that was intentional. Need I remind you, Azmuth put in place the self-destruct in case the Omnitrix fell into the wrong hands. The ability to splice Highbreed DNA with others' was something also unintended by Azmuth, but for the greater good. As Azmuth had admitted in Final Battle, there are things Ben has done that he did not even foresee.

The Ultimatrix featured evolutions, but these evolutions were put in place by Albedo--not Azmuth--and were removed with the next iteration. The ability to transform other beings into aliens against their will was a bug. Technology like this isn't without its bugs, especially with it being made by Albedo and not Azmuth. The Omnitrix could do something like that with the bioids, but that's because Vilgax tailored them to work like that.
