The thing is if it were just the central villain it'd be practically another word for Big Bad. I get your frustration but the issue is without All For One the setting would be entirely different to where Deku never would have the chance to be a hero. As said be I am not sure whether or not Tomura could qualify but even that first line indicates irreplaceable but I lean to it being a rare case of both counting.

The overall role of the Heavy can vary but the impact of the setting is irreplaceable. Joe Chil being the best example as while Joker and others might play a big part in the present they aren't individually irreplaceable as stories can realistically happen without while Joe Chill is what drove Bruce to become Batman thus allowing the series to exist, similar with the Burglar in Spider-Man. Palpatine for example counts as he is basically the one who manipulates events that allow all the trilogies to happen. Most Heavy's overlap with the Big or Bigger Bad but not always as not all them are irreplaceable towards the story or setting.
