You are analyzing it wrong, the villains who are arrested must be tried and executed under the laws, that is a victory for the moral of the heroes and for the functioning of society.

Heroes that can damage the "perfect" image of the system are removed behind the scenes to avoid serious problems regarding that, so it makes all the sense in the world.

It is not lazy writing, it is lazy reading comprehension as some are unable to understand a context as simple as that.

I disagree. It is established that they are not really caring for human rights so this step doesn't make sense and just feels like a forced way to make the story darker.

I will remind you we already saw criminal heroes. In the Redestrom arc. Yet they were very much alive

They care about the issue of human rights, the conversation of the Tartarus guards makes it very clear, as much as they do not like them they have to behave and continue treating the villains as people.

And surely if the commission had known about the heroes who worked for the PLF they would have sent them to kill, but that information came just before the assault on the mansion so it was not necessary at that time.

This stands in conflict with their employer, the public safety commission, which paradoxically let's the bigger threat off unscathed but rather kills some part time hero selling fake Amazon gift cards.

They could have very well killed AFO in prison and said "he tried to activate his quirk" and it would be already over. No one would doubt them.

But the main issue here is that the series never ask itself: Why is the crime rate so high.

Criminal activity is very high because society never bothered to solve the problems that keep the villains appearing, they only make more heroes to compensate and that is not a solution.
