An unchanging deific perspective where interpretation can portray the position as tyrannical is not preferable to the humane world view.
Furthermore, god is not good just because he describes himself as such. A common trait with villains is that they always perceive themselves as doing good, wanting others to believe they are good, when a critical analysis shows they are not good.
And if even one person prefers the portrayal of the antagonist in the work of fiction, the writer has done a poor job of creating a protagonist worthy of acknowledgment.
