Why don’t the busybodies who lurk realize they’re the villains of the story?

The road to Hell is paved with good intentions. Hell in this case means an end to the right to bodily autonomy.

They're scapegoating. And they're as imperfectly human as we are. They're oppressive, but this isn't a comic book where they're twirling their moustaches and maniacally laughing as they pull levers. Demonizing them dehumanizes them, and then we feel justified and powerful and head toward becoming what we hate. Self-respect and self-definition steps out of the story. Swapping lables only reifies the story and legitimizes the narrative.

No they are just like comic book villains. They're as self righteous as Magneto.

But, respectfully, aren't you feeling some self-righteousness by calling them villains?

Not many people see themselves as the villains because they do not think that what they are doing is wrong in the first place. We can only see reality from our own perspective, and truly understand our own beliefs, so that is what we define as being the default. Everyone sees themselves as the protagonist in their own life story. That is not to say that every perception of the world is valid, however, or that hateful ideologies are legitimate.

Willem Dafoe was once asked how he prepared to play a villain versus how he prepared to play a hero. He said "Ain't no difference. Every one thinks they're righteous."
