Honestly speaking, is anything that Syndrome does really that different to what other supervillains had attempted? Other than that, part of the issue came from his backstory: while I personally don't find Syndrome tragic, the movie doesn't really convey that well. It's different from say Lotso; the movie makes it clear that Lotso is not supposed to be sympathetic. Heck, they even went in and increased the obviousness of his cruelty. With Syndrome, it's not really presented in that light.
