(utility monsters are awful, for some reason, even though by assumption they generate huge amounts of utility, oh dear!)
Utility monsters are awful, possibly for no reason whatsoever. That's OK. Value is complex. Some things are just bad, not because they entail any bad thing but just because they themselves are bad.
You're allowed to define utility monsters as terminally awful; it's just not going to convince me.
