And the lore on this point is fuzzy and as been retconned several times, but its often implied nids were a created bio-weapon species rather than a natural evolution/force of nature

Even if that's the case the fault would be with the creators. The tyranids couldn't be held responsible for being created the way they are. But yes, they are bad for anyone who's not a tyranid obviously lol

True, I'm just saying they're not necessarily a 'force of nature'(in academic terms, rather than as a simile or metaphor i.e. 'like a force of nature'), not that being so or not affects the maliciousness or lack thereof of their motivations
