Just one reason why the premise for those movies is just so fucking stupid.

Why? The movies make it clear its not really cutting down crime or "letting loose demons" or anything like that but about the ruling class using it to purge the poor and "undesirables".

...are you under the impression that the movies are advocating for such an event? That...that's not even close to right.

I can't speak for the movies, but I remember people unironically doing that when the first movie came out and got popular

People, on average, are uncritical and prone to violence - a key component of the movies/premise.
