Even the whole Brock thing can be looked at as necessary tough love. Gus showed them that people, even in his inner circle, were disposable if they messed up even a little... and Jesse is bound to mess up with his addiction problems and poor decision making abilities. Gus wanted him gone from the start and was clearly going to just use him for the time being. Poisoning Brock was a terrible thing, but not a betrayal in the bigger picture.

Pretty sure your moral compass needs fixing.
To be clear, what you're saying is that it was okay to to be complicit and complacent in the near death and death of two people that your supposed friend loves. Because of a self appointed role of of knowing what's right for that person.
That's a pretty fundamental misread of what is really going on.
Walt betrayed Jesse because he didn't help save the woman he loved from death when he was totally capable of doing because it served his own interests more and then willingly poisoned a child that Jesse loved for the same reason, to serve Walt's own selfish ends.
Pretty cut and dry. I would go back and watch the series again because I think you're misunderstanding the dynamics at work.
