Ultimately, the Bounts were victim of the Soul Society so in a way, them not allowing souls to pass onto the Soul Society because they need to eat them is a sort of payback though I doubt they realized that. Though they were also good for regulating the amount of souls that go to the Soul Society as being based on our modern day where millions die daily, too many passing over would make the Soul Society way too crowded which it already is albiet so why make it worst? As evil as the Hollows are, they are also part of the regulation. No one is saying devouring souls is not a bad thing because the souls are lost however, it is a necessary evil.
