The concepts differ, of course: God is supposedly perfect, whereas Kayaba is a human who is flawed. Still, I wonder if there's something about Kayaba being viewed as the world's creator - almost a God-like figure in that respect - which makes viewers a bit more willing to overlook the fact that his actions led to true deaths.

You'll find that if you actually read the Biblical text without a religious lens, that God tends to be a douchebag for a lack of a better term throughout the Old Testament.
God consistently screws over people.
Practically the story Old Testament from Moses up to Kings is to take someone else home no matter the cost including smiting, massacres, and assasination bc God told you so.
Even the choosen people will get smited the moment you say anything against God. (Numbers)
Yet we still see God as the Just, Perfect, Absolute thing or at least in Religion.
God is God and who are we to question him as some might say.
Finding the reasoning for God's actions is impossible to prove. You can infer and theorize all you want but it ain't gonna happen.
Could be that Kayaba is that parallel to God in which you ain't going to figure why he does what he does. He just does it and that's all you know. No matter how cruel it may be.
