There were several non benders that we knew of in the old show that could do more than just hold their own against most benders, and only one of those used Chi Blocking. I don't think it is necessarily true that non benders couldn't make as much of a name for themselves or more if they were competent enough. There may be inequality of the masses in some cases, but it isn't as unfair as it seems at first glance. We don't know however if most people realize this or not.

Also, a villain doesn't have to be able to believe what he's doing to be interesting. In fact, sometimes it is more interesting if he doesn't believe it. We know what the ideas of the Equalists probably are, but we don't know if deep down Amon truly believes that or not. It will likely be interesting either way regardless of if he believes in the Equalist mission or is simply using them.
