Ilias is damned if she does, damned if she doesn't. She is flamed when she leaves humans to their own devices, but is also flamed when she assists them. She creates the possibility for them to even exist by killing the dinosaurs, but she's evil because she let's them discover fire for themselves. She destroys others to let humans live and she's evil for that, but she's also evil for not giving humans the means to destroy others themselves(Which is necessary for progress).

In Paradox, Ilias can give them everything they want, but then she's flamed for doing so and they have to make her evil by calling it "slavery". Humans struggle and suffer, therefore they "ought to struggle and suffer" is the Monsters argument, neglecting the fact that humans only struggle and suffer to create a world in which they struggle and suffer less. Choosing a world where humans continue to struggle and suffer needlessly when there is an alternate option is not only the highest hypocrisy, but you could define that as "evil" if there ever was a way to define it.

Yes, the games do touch upon important questions. But the answers given are too conveniently placed to make Ilias look bad and the Monster Lord good, that they can't be taken seriously. If you take the game for it's word just because the game says it's a certain way, then you're being extremely narrowminded.
