Makishima spent much more time in direct contact with him than with Rikako and Mido. Their relationship was different than that between Makishima and his pawns. Also, Senguji is one of the players. There might have been many more. Finally, those players were probably the ones who enabled Makishima to create and mass produce the helmets - since he is unlikely to have had all the necessary resources to do that by himself.
Destroying the Hyper-Oats will still eventually give at least some people the chance to express their free will. Under Sybil, everybody have given up their ability to choose and simply wait for the system to give them an answer. (at least that's the way he thinks)
To put it bluntly, directly destroying Sybil (and mass riots) > destroying food supply (and mass starvation) > leaving system as it is.
Well, he certainly was curious, but I don't think it was the main reason. Once again, total anarchy would have been a choice taken by the people; starvation wouldn't. As long as people were free to make their choice, Makishima would be content - regardless of what that choice turns out to be.
Because every time we've seen, the violence has always been the means, not the desired end. Some quotes from episode 15:
"It seemed as if he was always trying to find answers through his crimes"
"If he was a criminal who'd find enjoyment in watching a riot like this, we could have arrested him more easily."
Still, that makes the second driving factor curiosity, not desire for random violence.

You... make a lot of assumptions.. And preach them as if they are 100% proven true.
I mean, I agree that he's interested in free will and stuff, but where do you get this idea that he does not enjoy killing?
