That's true. Although you were correct from the beginning, when you said that the killers "will not be as remembered." [Emphasis added] So it's comparative -- the victims are remembered more.
For example, 23 stab wounds killed Julius Caesar, but most people can only name one of the assassins (without Googling).
People with a particular interest in the events can name the killers of Anwar Sadat or Yitzhak Rabin, but most of us can't.

I mean, some people just don't seem to learn well, and don't think before they act, and as long as children do not learn things properly, I think there could be situations that start with people wanting to kill, even if it is less nowadays, and children not learning properly may not be the only factor here.
Yes, there's lots of killing going on.
In fact I think that our education encourages it -- not the kind we get in school, but the constant lessons from mass media. In TV and movies, the hero is the one who makes the most effective use of violence to solve problems.
There are still assassinations, of course, but these tend to be less high-profile. The CIA will kill foreign leaders, but not, apparently, at home. Lower level whistleblowers have a tendency to turn up dead, but not anyone who'd make top headlines. Epstein, of course, being an exception.
