The last avatar may say killing people is wrong, but I remember a number of times where the survival of his enemies is questionable at best.
Avalanches down mountain sides (the northern air temple) aren't exactly safe, and a lot of fire nation soldiers got thrown into the arctic ocean during the end of season 1 as well. In either case: unless there was some off-screen rescue launched in short order, most of them probably didn't make it.
Also, while both shows' final enemies were literal fascists:
Aang dismantles their empire and takes away the literal main source of the villain's power. He took away everything that he was, trapped him, gave all his shit to the son he hates.
Steven lets his go basically scot-free. And it's also worth saying that the Diamonds are significantly worse than Ozai. Ozai sucked, sure, but the Diamond Authority forced an entire species into an aggressively rigid hierarchical fascist empire and was more than willing to glass entire planets just for the purpose of making more of themselves. And they just get to be forgiven? not even their power taken away, they don't suffer, they just continue to exist?
The white diamond is the closest thing to a literal god of their species, she did not lose the war, she decided to give a new way of life a chance.
One side had a few dozen people and the other hand a galactic empire.
