The chaos system isn't about morality, though it may sort of look like it. It's about causing more or less chaos in Dunwall. Allowing these people to die, or letting some of them become violent weepers, would supposedly cause more chaos than the alternative. Maybe some of them have families to feed, who would otherwise end up on the street and become plague victims themselves. Who's to say? But a masked villain murdering sick people would certainly cause some chaos.

I also would hardly call them sadistic and evil. It doesn't seem like any of them are on a quest to spread the plague to as many people as possible. They just don't want to die in a flooded wasteland beneath a pile of corpses. The ones who "don't care" if they infect others could be called selfish (though I would challenge general you to consider what you would say in such circumstances; I say awful things I don't mean in bad traffic, heaven knows what I would say in the survivors' places). However, that's all the farther I'd take it. They're just people trying to survive perilous circumstances.
