I mean he is just doing the exact same thing as Frodo and his gang, trying to have his worldview promoted throughout middle earth. The other characters in that made up story have similar means. I think debating the morality of mythical characters gives too much credence to them in the first place.
Unfortunately, Satan is one of those characters that a lot of people think isn't mythological. There are millions who blame everything bad in the real world on this guy. It'd be worth investigating Sauron's character if his character was considered real by so many people that it had serious life-and-death consequences for people.
