I assure you everyone has them. There’s an abundance of evidence for this, no one is above the possibility of then coming out in the right circumstances.
I don’t know how anyone else does it. I’ve tried an evil run in Fallout 3 so I could recruit a particular follower. I had to restart multiple times because I kept accidentally being nice to people, and on my last attempt, I couldn’t even make it to the first town before I stopped playing because it was way too painful to be mean. It felt the same even just watching someone else play Durge on BG3.
You are wrong. I do not doubt that many suppress such thoughts, but some at least also do not have them.
And I’d like to make a distinction here about intrusive thoughts and things I actually phantasize about doing. I have intrusive thoughts, but I know that I wouldn’t want to act out on any that hurt another living being, even if guaranteed to have no consequences.

You say I’m wrong and then explain that I’m right. Thanks
You are wrong about this. If you read properly, you would have understood this.
Well, I’ve got you this thread on one side of this point.
And I’ve got decades of research, history and professional experience on the other side.
You’ve not convinced me yet! 😀
