In Fujimoto's case, being punished is more like a sign that he likes the character. He is a self admitted masochist and he puts some of that into the characters he really enjoys writing.
It's not a matter of whether someone deserves it or not.
Clearly he felt like Makima's "punishment" wasn't done quite yet even if she was already dead. Even her reincarnation had to suffer.
