Usually the henchmen are actively attacking the protagonists, while the villain is already (seemingly) defeated by the time this line is uttered.

Not always though. Sometimes it's just a guy protecting someone and they murder them. I seriously think about that guy going to work that day and how his family felt about how they died. They're not necessarily protecting good people, but it's just a job.
It always pisses me off when someone defending their life, or the lives of others, in a show is somehow a monster for stopping the threat. (Or it is somehow 'honorable' to not kill someone actively murdering others.)
Fuck no. Stop the murderer, rapist, or terrorist using as much force as is necessary. Little Timmy will be so much better off with parents who are still alive, Susan will be happy her husband wasn't murdered, etc etc.
But with the state monopoly on violence this becomes anti social thinking.
Only the state can do violence, and it must not be seen to be accountable to the people, so it cannot echo our aggregate morality.

I found Watchdogs 2 weird in this regard. You steal money from random people, who often struggle themselves, steal cars like nothing, murder a suburb’s worth of people, and still you’re “the good guys”?
Trevor in GTA5 was notable for being the only protagonist in those sort of games who remained in character no matter what you did during gameplay.

Nigel powers: look at you, you don't even have a name tag! You don't stand a chance. Put your guns down. That's right, put them down on the floor.
Another reason for me to hate Spectre.
Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge? That you?
