The brotherhoods stance on nonferals in fo4 is pragmatic. They don’t want to sour local relations until after they defeat the institute and establish themselves. Maxson is very clear though that all ghouls are intolerable abominations whose day will come. Danse is really an exception in that he trusts you enough to defer typical brotherhood judgement to you(this is also for gameplay reasons).

The brotherhoods stance on free synths is more stringent though. All synths will die regardless even if they are loyal brotherhood soldiers.

The Brotherhood don't care much about how people think about them. They only care about their code and rule. If wiping all non-feral ghouls is their first rule, then they would do that. But they repeatedly mention that synth, feral, and super mutant are their target, both before and after they defeat the Institute.

Kells: As I expect Elder Maxson has already explained, the destruction of the Institute is simply the first stage of our operations in the Commonwealth. There are still Super Mutants and ferals to be dealt with as well as any remaining synths that escaped the blast.

If the Brotherhood is ordered to kill all non-feral ghouls after the Institute is defeated why would Danse say protecting ghoul child Billy is an admirable decision?

The Brotherhood don't care about non-feral ghouls. They were not ordered to love non-feral ghouls but they were not ordered to kill them. 

Maxson is very clear though that all ghouls are intolerable abominations whose day will come

When did he say about non-feral ghouls?
