Actually Albedo had a perfectly legitimate reason to kill Ben, and the Forever Knights had a proper motivation as well. Animo wasn't even really a major villain in the grand scheme, contrast again to Malware who was a story arc villain. Most of the minor villains in OV and UAF didn't really have proper motiviations, For example, "Fist & Fist" as I like to call them, were also just common thugs. Animo was still around, as was Zombozo and other minor UAF villains.

The Highbreed were basically like the Daleks but with emotion. I can't say that either had decent motivation, but people liked the Daleks, so they probably figured it would work.
