Since Halo 3 the stories of the books and games have been a lot less focused on a central plot and are all over the place, but it seems they like to concentrate on well ackshually even though Master Chief saved humanity, the humans are bad and the central government is corrupt and everything sucks

That's been a theme since the beginning though. It was never addressed in the games until Halo 4, but it's spelled out pretty clearly in The Fall of Reach (the first piece of Halo media) that the UNSC is far from good. There's the whole kidnapping children to turn them into supersoldiers thing. And of course the Spartans were originally created to squash insurrections, which were seemingly commonplace across human colonies.

Honestly I think the games should have leaned into it more. Would have been cool to fight some humans as well.
