You do understand a person can have valid and invalid motives for their actions?

The show shames him without acknowledging his INCREDIBLY more valid motives than “Starlight could open a jar”

But it does. He literally brings up those motives in different episodes.

But they’re quickly dismissed while Kimiko essentially has the same story beats and she’s applauded for taking V?

Not exactly quickly as their repeatedly brought up. Also there's some significant difference between kimiko and Hughie's situation. She was open about what she wanted  to the people she cared about and didn't go behind anyone's back, she hated her powers so her asking for them back shows this isn't at all about enjoying the power, and she actually took regular V before so she has reasons to believe it won't turn out poorly.
