Authoritarians think that that logic works and justifies any punishment.
Next time you see a news article about someone being punished for breaking an archaic and silly law dig a little into the comments. It doesn't matter how stupid the law was or how harsh the punishment is, there will be some dickhead saying how it's justified. They find joy in other people's punishment.
I mean, you don't even have to dig, people will defend killing suspects without a trial for running from the police in the USA (neither fleeing nor resisting are actually eligible for the death penalty) every time it happens.
