It’s socially acceptable and common to do so, for certain.
I was only explaining why. And pointing out that using evil as an excuse to look no further at what’s going on with someone, isn’t a virtue. You shouldn’t do that. Understanding why is critical to fighting evil.
It’s neither.
If I asked why you ate a candy bar, and you said “I wanted to”, that doesn’t explain anything. Obviously you wanted to. Implied in my question is asking for the reason you wanted the candy bar.
This is no different.
“Why does someone do the evil thing?”
“Because they’re evil.”
That doesn’t actually say anything.
But using it in place of an actual explanation, is an excuse to not look for the real reasons that would explain the evil.

they choose to abide by the philosophy and ideology of evil; it’s a choice.
every decision these monsters make is filtered through that lens.
it’s a commitment to an ideology. that’s what I mean. It’s not a tautology like you seem to think?
What is the ideology of evil? I’ve never heard of that.

That’s not a thing. You’re making up your own language now, and I’m done.
