Instead, what's being discussed here is empathy. Attempting to understand why he made the decisions he did, for what reasons, and who he was as a person. Doesn't mean that anything he was right, or justified, or acceptable in anyway. Understanding something is not the same as agreeing with it.
If you want to consider Kayaba's trait as "Monster" deserves no attempt to understand at all, and that it overrides everything else about who he is or what he did or why, that's fine, I guess. But as a fictional character, Kayaba is a complex person shrouded in mystery, and there's a lot more that can be said about him than "He's a monster, end of discussion."
And on the other side of the coin, that really is pretty much all you can say about Sugou.

Not really. I think we all know and understand why he did what he did, and there is no mystory about that. His motives are clear. There is not much to say about Kayaba except the things we already said about him.
And both, Sugou and Kayaba, clearly knew what the were doing and both clearly didn't care as long the could achieve their goals. The only difference between them is that Sugou was portaid as a moronic pervert with a huge inferior complex.
