They aren't victims, they are quite fine with magicians being treated as tools and guinea pigs...as long as it's not done in future clan head prospects, but everyone else is fair game.

You can also look at it from different perspective. Yotsuba as well as other 10MC which were originated from magic researching, are the products of the era where inhumane experiments were encouraged and possibly legalized by the government. Yotsuba' infamy was resulted from Maya's incident which Yotsuba was clearly a victim here. I'm not surprised why the clan head at the time chose to hide the clan and preferred to be looked at with fear rather than risking the same tragedy repeating itself. Their assassination and covert opt which are their forte are also implicitly approved by the government, you can say their jobs are part of the national security. Can you give an example that Mitsugu killed innocent people? Those he killed were a threat to Japan, even if he didn't do it others would. As far as i recall, those parasites he killed were not Japanese citizens and were illegally migrants. They were also not humans hence civil rights could not be applied to them. Even we guarantee civil rights for them, they were criminals who already killed Japanese citizens and were being pursued by public forces. I don't see any reasons why Mitsugu couldn't kill them.
Regarding 4th lab, 4th lab still in active is merely conjectures at the moment i will refrain from giving my comment but my point is that while Yotsuba through Aoba is still doing research in magic we still do not have evidences indicate that those research are inhumane. Besides, how can you be so sure that other families won't still doing something worst? Take a look at 9th lab when he did the experiment on parasite doll it was also illegal not to mention colluding with foreigner which was borderline treason. Talking about Tatsuya being tormented, i admitted it was inhumane. However, without such training and inhumane operation from Yotsuba he won't be able to survive. He might end up either lab rat somewhere or unintentionally using MB. His fate was sealed since he was given his ability by god. Look i won't deny the ideology that raising Tatsuya with cares and love might make him grow strong with high tolerance as well but with comforts i don't believe his mental fortifications to prevent tragedy would be as strong as of now. Let's say if he were born in other 10MC, what would they do?They do not have ability to tamper with MCA as Miya. They might decide to lock him up the rest of his life and only utilize them when they need him.
In fact, 10MC system has been created with the objectives of treating magicians as weapons according to Retsu. Now he want to change to direction because his grandson is sick and he doesn't want to be used. Retsu's wish is sound but hypocrite and he did not care how many would suffer during the process. My point is every family in the story has hidden agenda and in need of powers with some pathetic excuses like balancing the power. Yotsuba on the other hand they need power to protect themselves not to hinder or harm others. As long as magicians are still a backbone in military, it is hard to not be looked as weapons. I believe however that Tat and Miyuki will eventually provide means for Yotsuba to change the direction of the clan.
Sorry for blabbering but why painting Yotsuba so black, so far they hasn't done anything to harm others or betray the country.
