I agree. The Devil card itself has no good or evil / negative or positive attributions on their own. These qualities only emerge when it is viewed with other cards, position it is taking in the spread and also question asked. The emerged qualities are subjective not universal or objective.

Yes, that mostly makes sense to me that they are subjective, though I see them as still related (interestingly) to the universal themes and symbols which have triggered them in the first place. There are so many symbols and correspondences on the cards that deciding which ones to focus on, (maybe not consciously) might suggest a choice of what to see.
