I mean, no, because she's under extreme stress and trauma. Which Dr. Anderson was not. (again, I find killing Abby's dad in 1 quite satisfying!) But it still puts her in a situation where I wouldn't judge Abby's protective instinct too harshly if she didn't trust Ellie's mercy

These two viewpoints are, I think, irreconcilable and they're very very strongly skewed by people's growing dislike of trolley problem scenarios in games like this and willingness to just go ahead and side with the characters who have names and top billing in the cast

Which the second game plays with by top billing both archenemies! And like frankly I don't think the writers really cared that much about the trolley problem, at least not by 2. It was just a motivating reason for Ellie to be a sad teenager and fall out with Joel.

I think TLOU2 actually makes it simpler than that, because the specific murder that sets events in motion is explicitly one that Joel did not need to do to save Ellie. And sure, maybe the guy deserved it, but Joel is still the first person in the exchange to kill as punishment.
-
Joel did need to do it though. Dr. Anderson threatens him with a knife, and if he hesitates too long, Joel is disarmed from behind
