Maybe for you that’s the case, I definitely have a definition of morally good and both sides aren’t that. Accepting collateral for example. You can’t be good in my book if you’re doing that, and they both did.
I don’t think you should state this so definitively in a couple sentences, when philosophers whose job it is to figure this out are still pouring out dissertations on this question.
Good is relative. And relatively speaking, one is definitely good compared to the other.

Literally nothing is “good of its own merit”. Because literally nothing is intrinsically “good”.
“Good” is a subjective idea, not objectively measurable, so it will always be in reference to another, i.e. relative.

Nerco-ing a bit:
Can you provide me of an example that is objectively good?
Please don’t describe it, simply provide an example.

For practical purposes it has been settled. Maybe there is an objective good, but nobody has agreed on it so all we have is subjectivity.

Both are consistent within the confines of the definition.
I’m making assumptions here, but it sounds like you’re sarcastically pointing out contradiction.
But there is no contradiction here. “Good” is subjective, and when they subjectively compare the two then one is much better, subjectively
