If the demons in the story were just demons would it be worse? Are there any plot points that need the demons to lack powers of complex thought to work?

I guess I just don't understand why you feel it's necessary to ignore everything the story told you about this particular type of monster in order to reinterpret it as a racist story about about how some peoples need to be exterminated. What exactly does that add to the story?

Verisimilitude. The work is written in a world that seems like ours. In worlds like ours that is a thing people say and are both lying and wrong. So, it is a more artistically dense view to consider it in the context of them being an unreliable narrator.

A bunch of people that don't exist talking about situations that can't exist has less intresting things to say about life.
