Well, the thing here is that Sybil first needs to assimilate Makishima's brain into the system to be able to understand the way he thinks. It's kinda self-defeating. Sybil is completely incapable of comprehending Makishima's way of thinking, which is why he was designated as an asymptotic individual in the first place. That's pretty much why the system is so desperate to get it hands on his brain. In addition to that, in its reckless arrogance, it refuses to acknowledge that they might be underestimating Makishima, or perhaps they simply don't about about anything aside from capturing him.
In any case, there's little doubt that Sybil was presented to be a "bad" system, as is the usual reaction to any authoritarian mode of governance. Even so, despite being a monstrous(?) system that subjugates human freedom, you can't deny that it's considerably efficient at what it does.
