Obi Wan Kenobi condemned thousands of souls to a pointless avoidable death by not force pulling Anakin’s single limbed body back up the slope and amputating his head. Or his torso.
You’d think that would be a thing only rage would make you do, but Obi Wan’s emotions were his weakness here, that he still harbored affection when a Jedi is SUPPOSED to be cold, dispassionate, and disciplined.
Euthanizing a being infected with Sith influence - especially if it is to the point that their obsession has cost them essentially EVERYTHING - is an objectively moral act of benevolence.
His mind, so clouded by emotion, PROLONGED Anakin’s suffering. Letting someone burn alive is excessively cruel which is, unsurprisingly, bad, ACTUALLY. The ideal jedi would have ended the crippled and suffering Sith Thrall without further torturing it. As painlessly as possible. Perhaps even administering a heavy dose of painkiller from a medkit if they are carrying one (which they SHOULD be) so that the Sith Drone is lost in a haze of euphoria and not even aware of reality anymore when its head is separated from its body.
For good measure, it would be appropriate to entirely destroy the head OR to bring the head back with you so its brain can be studied; perhaps the Galaxy would benefit from a greater understanding of how Sith infection ravages the brain.
