How is Tom Nook a villain?

Tom Nook is considered "evil" by some fans due to his ruthless capitalist practices, like trapping players in endless, interest-free loans for island developments and exploiting their labor to build his empire, while others defend him as a misunderstood businessman providing essential services. The "evil" perception stems from his predatory business model (landlord, monopolist), using his nephews as unpaid labor, and his transformation from humble seller to wealthy tycoon, but he's also seen as providing opportunity without harsh penalties in a fantasy setting.
