Villains are often left obscure because if you know what, why, and how they do things, it's harder to have them surprise you in the moment without BS... it's also harder for the writers to kill them(Miles and Kerry said they killed Torchwick in part because they kept wanting to write him... which made him a distraction from the plot). As a writer that means two things. A, you love your characters as a writer should, and B, you need to buckle down and stick to your fucking guns! No matter what the character is, you gotta stick to your plot. PERIOD.

I want the villains to die knowing I knew all there is to know about them. That's not going to happen if everytime I look up they only pop up in the show for a few scenes. Why not have the villains working two by two to make them always have someone to play off and interact with so we get more of their personality per showing of them.

And a good writer will allude to plot points or the villain's plans but still surprise you with things going wrong or villains altering their plans midway like Cinder did. Beside even if Salem gave her whole plan from the start of episode 1 we would all still be here because we'd be drawn in to see if Salem could pull it off via execution.
