The reason as to why both can qualify primarily is because of the degrees of villainy. Beckett obviously has more resources, but Blackbeard I would say he did enough to be as bad as possible; plus, there's the added notion he'd sacrifice his own daughter for immortality that edges him a bit to make him stand out.
