Well as I've put it before, smaller scale villains have been known to hit what's considered beyond the pale for Pokemon's heinous standard. Hunter J is just a bounty hunter operating in the same series as an omnicidal maniac and his team, yet she qualifies more that they do. In the DPA manga, Cyrus tried to obliterate the universe so that he could remake it in his image, and yet Charon still surpassed him in pure, horrific, irredeemable evil. Ghetsis' plans weren't as grandiose as Cyrus or Lysandre's, but he has a sheer devilishness he puts into his actions and behavior that the other villains lack, particularly in his fondness for torture of all kinds - physical, mental, and emotional. Plus, while other villains might have plans that would ultimately kill people if they succeed, Ghetsis has been the most direct in how he handles attempted murder, shown in the climax of BW, his entire plan in BW2 (as Robin stated), and his order to have Kyurem use Glaciate on the Player Character. He doesn't want to make everything go boom: he'd rather kill people where they stand, because he's just that atrocious a person.
