The Jedi weren't "good" they were the absent of evil and that will never be enough for a just society because evil will exploit it eventually.
Yeah the point of the prequels was that they weren't innocent. They had grown complacent, and solely focused on tradition instead of thinking about the actual Jedi values. Anakin was right, but didn't know the way to fix it and instead followed the sith.
He didn't follow the Sith so much reject the Jedi as not good so went down the only path to gain power to do the greatest good he could think of: save Padme
Like, there's obviously real world parrells, but when the "good" option actively prevents people from doing good in the pursuit of perfect balance, some people will go to the side that doesn't care how you use your own personal power. Because you can rationalize that it won't corrupt you.
