It's a reason to dislike both characters. Mal was just as offensive as Mike. Both are clear misrepresentations of a disorder.

Regardless, Scarlett imo, was a better antagonist. Unlike Mal, she had a defining strategy and had clear motives, like you said. Mal literally just broke stuff and was ineffective until the penultimate episode whereas Scarlett had tried to eliminate people sooner, even though she didn't succeed. And it didn't help that Mal was really bland as well.
