I disagree. I think it make perfect sense to have the Quincy as villains. Remember that Mayuri studied Quincies. His research on bodies is supposedly the key to this arc. In the last page of the omake this week, Mayuri finds that hundreds of Hollows have been completely destroyed including their souls and says that "only they" can do this. We already know that this is the reason why the Shinigami exterminated the Quincy. Lets not forget that Uryu was more powerful in Soul Society than he was in the Human World. I think it makes sense that the few Quincies remaining would join together and oppose Soul Society. A tale of revenge.
