Finished this, it was great. A bit indulgent with having two false climaxes though.

Maybe I missed some eyepads. I remember reading about Nadie but my impression was that what Everyman was trying to do was downright harmful to the human consciounesses in the stream and the Executor was trying to stop him.
My take

given how insane he sounded in those transcripts in the final level where he was boasting about being able to restore his freedom, yeah he was coming across as the bad guy. As another note detailed, this simulation with all these forked versions of himself (including The Executor) is his eternal punishment, a tech-rock for Sisyphus to push for eternity. Nothing within the game is real, you even have a bit of The Usual Suspects there at the end with the books and things in the room

That last pad indicates that not even the punishment is real and this is a disembodied consciousness who has simply lost his mind
