Gods or not, they are still humanity's creators. You can't exactly judge them on the same level as their creations. To them, the planet was little more than a "beautiful experiment". And there could've been other concerns that stemmed from beyond the planet they created. And rebelling against your own creators is almost never a good idea. I honestly can't blame the gods for the punishments they gave Salem and humanity.

Salem tried to get in the way of their brotherly agreement with her selfish demands and deception. Family comes first, you know. Why wouldn't they want to punish her accordingly? They gave humanity life and let them choose how they lived, and the thanks they received was being attacked by them with their own gifts. Humanity didn't have to listen to Salem's plan to overthrow the Brothers, you know. How would you feel if you were betrayed by your own greedy and ungrateful creations? I know I'd be so angry and disappointed that I'd want to wipe them out. I'd say the Gods' actions were justified.

Whether you sympathize with Salem or not, you can't deny that if she had just accepted their cycle of life in the first place, humanity wouldn't be in the state it's in. If you ask me, those who think the Brothers are the real antagonists/villains here are not looking at the situation from their perspective.
