Well, there is a logic here, and one of the reasons why the 9 traitor legions changed allegiance. The loyalist space marines are brainwashed into following the Earth suprematist credo of the Emperah, already in 30k, with a lot of xeno genocide. The traitors brand themselves as free from the Emperor/Holy Terra ideals and commands. The irony is that now they slave to the will of the Warp, more than they were before of Earth burocracy. Yes, any Xeno knows that in any case a post-human Space marine is best to avoid, but survival chances are surely higher with traitors than with the Deathwatch. And because 40k is grimdark, maybe the quick death by loyalist space marine's bolter is better than become a sex toy with new orifices (3rd legion), be a slave slowly dying of terrifying unknown diseases (death guard), being butchered just for the sport of it (World'Eaters), become either dust or a strange being with tentacles in yet another psychic experiment gone wrong (thousand sons), become a suicide bomber/proxy and crying alound Ï'm Alpharius"while detonating and so forth....

Does that mean that Chaos space marines are more capable of accepting the greater good than their loyalist couterparts (according to the T'au)

Well, the thing is, the Tau havent really interacted with the Aeldari enough to realise the difference between the Craftworlds and the Dark Eldar. (They had a "cultural exchange" with the Drukhari that went about as well as you'd expect, but they've also had good experiences with some Exodites and some Craftworlders)

What about the Drukhari? If there is a faction who wins the title of most evil, surely incapable of accepting the greater good, thinking only about satisfying their corrupted and debases desires, well, that's the Drukhari. The T'au are going to have some other surprises from Comorragh, then.

as someone who actively enjoys t'au lore, the tyrainids, orks and the space marines are the three races the Tau have declared "incapable of accepting the greater good, kill on sight."
