I mean Oda had to somehow justify why none of the rocks pirates talk much about him apart from in passing terms. He couldn't just say it was all bad because some of them stuck around for 10 plus years and he showed xebec not really forcing anyone to stick with him.
This is the route he chose to justify the why lol. Thematically it makes sense(knowing rocks's story is all tragedy) but other characters needed to be dumbed down for this to happen.
