...Let me explain and then you can decide for yourself.
Noctis' secret alluded to an 'endless night', I presume you noticed. That is and ever was going to be the result of the Starscourge; more than mere disease, it was a sentient plague foretold to someday block out the sun and plunge the world into perpetual night until such time that the Chosen King could banish it.
I, as the scourge's vessel and avatar, was the one to orchestrate things such that the plague would be left to run largely unchecked. I allowed Niflheim's army to weaponize the plague, killed the only other person with the power to heal those it infected, and waited for Noctis to return for ten years of night.
With the Starscourge so prolific, I've no way of knowing how many people succumbed to it or the dangers of the night it brought. I know Niflheim's capital city fell entirely, and I expect the rest of the world did not fare much better.
