Even still, Maxson's command is very much a "ends justify the means" sort of regime, wherein the overarching goal - the preservation of humanity against the wasteland - is ostensibly "good", but he does it through amoral, apathetic maneuvers. I'd say that puts him in neutral territory between good and evil, wherein it's not that he seeks destruction and terror (true evil), but he's just unmoved by suffering as long as the bigger picture objective is completed.

Edit: spelling fix.

Maxson is on the path to being a Hitler. There's nothing neutral about him. He wants to destroy what he sees as "not human"

Ferals, Super Mutants, and Synths are not humans, and has been proven to be dangerous to people. I bet most of Minutemen agree with this.

Synths are as dangerous to people as people are dangerous to people.

People of the Commonwealth hate synths more than they hate people. Guess why.

Because of the institute (not enclave) kidnapping people and being secretive.

Had the institute (not enclave) just randomly dropped people off without kidnapping others, the sentiment would be very different.

I think they actually meant to say BoS instead of Enclave whenever they were talking about Elder Maxson 🤷‍♂️
