Now, before I go with it. He was indeed the villain of the movie/manga and arc of the anime. But so was Nagato, Madara, Obito and Sasuke once.

Anyways, the thing I'm going with is, he haven't exactly done anything beyond what all the other 'good guy' characters did in Naruto.

Like he wanted to search for one of his clan's agent, who was supposed to resource his clan with chakra. But it turns out that she betrayed them all. So, he wanted to punish her, and retrieve all the chakra of the fruit that was spread. In a way, he's no different from a merciless strict yet responsible clan Ninja in the war period, like he's basically a Uchiha who's searching for the traitor of his clan.

And yes, he absorbed his comrade for extra power. But that was their clan tradition. It was something that they both knew should happen one day. And there was no better time for it, then when being cornered around the strongest warriors of a planet. Remember how Madara used Obito? Or Obito used everyone else?

The thing that made me think about it was Sasuke and Naruto talking about Momo after absorbing Kinshi, Sasuke claiming that Momo reminds of him in the old days, when he was fixed on revenge and hate.

And the last thing that made me think about it was Momo giving Boruto his curse mark. Like why would he do that? If he was evil, he would have given him something poisonous or like a trap. But instead, he gave him his power or something. Indicating that he must have been either mad with power(Like Kaguya was) or he was just doing his duty. And seeing Boruto and his future, he wanted to do whatever he can for Boruto even after he was clearly killed by Boruto.
