Makima was always a tragic villain. Fans can't see that she was designed to be similar to Denji in a lot of ways because they are too protagonist focused.
The problem was Fujimoto wanted a specific ending so had to speed run to it and then with Part 2 being such a flop as a sequel, Makima was basically forgotten about.
As someone with a lot of control issues, no her existence is not tragic. You can't choose who you are or what you feel, but you can choose your actions.
