Yeah, I donāt think you understand either the point of that story or how convenience works. By your logic, I could argue that any point in a story is āconvenientā. The reason itās NOT simply āconvenient storytellingā is that he, again, goes to great lengths to explain how and why they are now evil. If it was just āconvenient storytellingā, he wouldnāt have touched on their development into evil beings either at all or in anything more than passing. Instead, there are a ton of notes and stories he wrote that seek to explain why they are now evil.
Your point isnāt a terrible one; you just picked an absolutely horrendous example that you clearly know nothing more than cursory information about.

Thatās a gross oversimplification of the evils in Lord of the Rings. Tolkien explained quite well how the evils came to be. At no point were the orcs just born evil because they āconveniently belong to an entire race of pure evil beingsā; thereās a lot of event chronicling and thought put into why and hoe a ārace of pure evil beingsā could come into existence.
