To be fair, throughout the dragon ball franchise, they do try and stress that while Goku has morals, he is not a hero - his main goal is just to fight the strongest beings he can find, and win.
If Cell and Frieza weren’t direct threats to his family, Goku would 100% have let them get stronger so he had more sparring partners.
Hell, in one of the series (can’t remember if it was non-cannon GT or not) he straight up trains Uub, Buu’s non-evil reincarnation.
I think that’s the best part about dbz and dbz discussions. Oh, you think that because you assume goku is smart and a hero. He is really good at fighting. He’s the best at it, no one has fought more uphill battles than him. He knows his shit when it comes to fighting. Everything else? Don’t expect anything from that guy

Last episode of DBZ, and recurring in GT
That explains why I couldn’t remember if Uub was cannon or not.
Sucks that GT isnt cannon though, I liked the half monkey form, to me its way cooler than ‘hair turned blue/pink’
It appears in Daima which I think is cannon
Daima is not canon as it directly contradicts super.
Toriyama rewrites the canon as he pleases.
“I’ve altered the cannon, pray I do not alter it any further”
