They added it to the LN? it wasn't in the WN and i've heard it wasn't in the LN so yeah.
I recall reading it in the WN trans a few years ago, before I dropped it as there was too much meandering.

What I do remember is that Tomoe knows Rembrandt’s past (from mind reading Morris) not Makoto. Tomoe has/had different morality than Makoto, and simply didn’t tell her boss. Rembrandt knows full well what Tomoe & Mio are capable of, and doesn’t want to piss them off.

How do you even come to that conclusion? The story criticises both Makoto and Hyumans. How hyumans and their society cannot stand the existence of Makoto who's basically just doing good things for cheap and a bit different looking and constantly pesters him and troubles him that's the entire point of the whole arc. Everyone is after his ass for their own stuck up reason. As for Makoto he's half assed because he's too strong he relies on his strength too much and delegates most of his work to his subordinates. He doesn't think properly about things in long term and is still naive about this world because he's basically been coddled by his subordinates.

(The following is based on the LN. The manga follows that pretty closely, but softens it in many ways... Largely by just not being explicit about it.)
The story doesn't really criticize anything. It takes selfish (even murderously ruthless) behavior as the norm and never questions it.
1) Rembrandt murders his own fiancee in order to steal her business (after he murders her father). Does the story ever criticize him for that? No.
2) Makoto doesn't promote or teach anything different. Rather he's handed an ever-increasing group of completely loyal servants. (And unlike re:Sime where Rimuru's subjects are won over by his personality and very real desire that everyone live a happy life.)
3) Merchants are running trade association which is fundamentally based and "Join us, be subservient to us and play by our rules or we'll wipe you out". The author doesn't criticize that.
4) Team Makoto's pushback against the merchants isn't based on morality but rather on might. Makoto is stronger than the merchants, so how dare the merchants push Makoto around!
5) Later in the series, Makoto explicitly says that he was a poor merchant, and resolved to do better.
6) Demons are no better. Later in the LN is mentioned in passing that the demons are genocidal. (With no criticism from the author of course.

Nowhere in this does the author criticize. Basically it's a dog eat dog world with all the major players playing by that rule. The only real weight against that is "Oh, I owe this guy a big debt, so now I'll treat him better."

Makoto seems to be a live and let live and don't be a bully or asshat to those he cares for or feels responsible for.

Even if he knew Rembrandt did all that he may not care since it didn't happen to him. There are horrible things happening in the world, a wholeass war that he doesn't want to get involved with. He wants to live his life and not be hurt, kinda like Bofuri.

He get pissed when hyumans take advantage of kindness and then attack his ppl.
He gets pissed when the shitty goddess teleports him to a battlefield and Sofia and lil dragon refuse to listen to him.
He is regularly annoyed at Root but doesn't have a reason to kill him or stop him from being annoying.

He does have his own code and it seems like the author is saying if you wanna fuxk around and find out make sure you're stronger otherwise you gon die. So like don't be prejudiced.

Goddess prejudice against him for his looks

Hyumans prejudiced against demi-humans

If Rembrandt ever turned on him Makoto would kill him, he would threaten him first to avoid it but once that line is crossed it's crossed. Author like, maybe don't cross lines. It's ultimately slice of life wish fulfillment. He is strong enough to live entirely how he chooses up to his whims, it's not moral go isekai fight and save the world. If that's the case then he would have been dropped on the frontier, got hella strong and joined the demons to fight against hyumans
