Well, at least they set it up so that clearly Superman didn't want to
kill him but had no other choice, and it caused him great pain.

I still disagree with the decision, though. Why can't they just follow
the principle in the comics? Bad guys are punished, not murdered. If for
no other reason, then for a pragmatic one: You can use the same badass
villain in a sequel, bringing more money in. If anybody, producers should
know this.
