Who betrayed the Dark Brotherhood Skyrim?

In Death Incarnate, Astrid betrays the Dark Brotherhood to save it, which makes zero sense. As stated by Lachance, this is an organization of “like-minded individuals,” which, to me, is as fundamental to the Dark Brotherhood's identity as assassins.

Is Dark Brotherhood a good or bad thing?

Whether the other assassination targets are good or bad is irrelevent since the player is never told one way or the other.
