You're ignoring quite a bit of the MegaBug.

It wasn't just the universe but the multiverse, two worlds, not one. It also beat Bowser to near death and you can hear his screams and it did subtely manipulate the party and it's also hurts and kills his own men in the gameplay section as an intentional feature.

Also here's a nice statement about how it's pretty smart.

" Every time the heroes defeat a hostile Rabbid, the MegaBug grows slightly, as it absorbs its energy that corrupted the Rabbid in the first place. However, it is required to defeat hostile Rabbids as they endanger the Mushroom Kingdom. It is clear from this that the MegaBug engineered the situation for Mario and company to fail, apparently proving that despite being mute, it is a very clever creature that can engineer situations to its own advantage."
