Plus it's about getting to a personal level too. Yama fought because he grieved over a friend, Byakuya fights for Rukia and Renji, they all fight to defend Soul Society. But when we hear about the Stern Ritter, for example Driscoll and Berenice, we hear that they singled out their opponent purely for a chance to fight them because they wish to kill them. They are not friendly. Also Juha Bach killed loyal soldiers in Luders and Asguiaro, and shrugged off the defeat of three Stern Ritter with nothing but insults for them. Being led by an evil man, they as a whole are inherently evil
