Except... that... there are no main characters in the FC. Your logic only fits for a story in which it is focused on a particular character or group of characters, and their lives or journeys, whereas the FC is a story in which everybody has their fifteen minutes of glory and every user thinks of their character as a main character. In such a story, you need villains to center the plot and achieve focus, otherwise everybody would be doing their own story lines which accentuate how amazing their characters are, and then, we don't actually have an FC then. Therefore, if there are no main characters, then you need the plot to focus around somebody, and the only specific group left is the villain. You have to think about the FC more as real life rather than a manga. I mean, what, was the United States the "main character" in a story called World War II? Sure, in an American's perspective. To those that supported the Axis Powers, we were the villains. "Main character" has to be designated by the writer or writers, and I don't think the operators have any desire to give any character the main protagonist status.
