But the difference is that incompetence is far more plentiful than malice. It's an odds game. Everyone makes mistakes, few actions people in general take are done in malice.

Is every exxon decision malice then? like opening a gas station in your neighborhood because it didn't have any? Sure it has profit in mind, but is it evil or malice?
