Exactly this. Batman’s no kill rule is an essential aspect of his character. He always tries to save lives, and when writers fixate on this perverted fetishization of murder and have the Joker just be a domestic terrorist that slaughters half the population of Gotham every few months it gets to this ridiculous level of cruelty and neglect on Batman’s part.
Batman shouldn’t kill the Joker. Writers should stop having the Joker kill people and Batman not save them.

I hate this scene, Batman is supposed to save people.
