It seemed more like a hung jury on TV Tropes rather than a straight up unanimous downvote. But I do agree that he qualifies by this Wiki's criteria. His refusal to do even worse than he seems able to do isn't based in personal standards, but on his own form of Pragmatic Villainy. Dragon was Stupid Evil, meaning not choosing to not do worse in any of his actions was practically second nature to him - Grimmel is Smart Evil, able to determine what's just effective enough to get him what he wants, even when there are crueler options he could go with but feels he needn't. Both villains operate under different resources, different motivations and end goals, and different approaches to villainy, but they're both completely horrible for who they are and what they have to work with.
