Is there something to be said about uh cold cowards (less snivelling and more calculating but not quite Know When to Fold 'Em) or when being a Dirty Coward makes the villain MORE effective and even competent?

I got my political views from reddit and that's bad

If a person lies about not intending on keeping their word, (for instance a hostage situation), would that be considered a sign of a coward as well?

Is being a Dirty Coward seen as a negative trait even by villains?

Is this necessarily a bad trait for a villain to have?

Define "bad." Does it make them seem like a worse person? Sure. Is it bad for their chances of survival? Probably not. It likely ups their odds of survival in many situations.

Why is this a subjective trope? The amount of cowardice to qualify is a very visible point.
