That's morgoth tho
What exactly did Sauron do wrong? It's never explained in the trilogy, he's simply presented as the "bad guy"...

He wanted to rule Middle-Earth himself.
The funny thing is, nothing really suggests he'd have been a bad ruler. We don't hear much about the men that aligned with Sauron, but we do know that some of them, the Easterlings, were a very refined and extremely prosperous civilization. He certainly knew how to inspire loyalty, for the men under Sauron fought to the last man at the Pelennor Fields and at the Morannon, even in the face of certain defeat, while the Orcs all fled.
Basically the Valar had decreed that Middle-Earth was to be ruled by the Dunedain to compensate for the loss of Numenor, so Sauron had to go.
True, Sauron was responsible for the sundering of Numenor in the first place, but that was due to a legitimate grudge.

Morgoth told the black numenoreans the elves were lying to them about immortality. The Lord of the Rings doesn't address many of Melkor's actual points for what he was doing.

It’s not even a literary criticism, it’s just a spin-off of the normalfag post-ironic “dude Hitler did nothing wrong!” statement. They do it with other pop culture villainous figures, like Darth Vader, Voldemort, Thanos, etc.

Should Morgoth be depicted as being bigger and more powerful?
