Unlike the hero from the villain. (inFamous: Second Son)

You know, many write right now that impression is different, the ending, abilities, etc., but I'm on the other. I have always been for the hero, because playing for the villain as it sucks, I mean skills and perks that are exclusive to hero - much better and more practical than villainous. I can't do without endless running neon slowing down time when aiming a huge radius of smoke grenades, etc. So in the end, why play for the villain, not counting the achievements? Maybe he deals more damage, or something else? I just don't understand why so complicate the already hardcore walkthrough...
