Light's definitely written as a villain.
I think it's pretty neat that the recent one-shot kinda hammered the fact that "Kira was a fucking genocidal maniac" home with what the new user decides to do with it combined with what you learn about how society views Light/Kira in the wake of his actions.
I agree he's portrayed as a villain, but they don't really humanize a lot of his victims or indict the reasons for crime. He doesn't make the world a better place and Light made no real lasting changes to the systems that push people to crime.
L basically does call him out on it. He immediately assumes Kira is young, before even meeting Light, because he has such a childish way of viewing morality
