If (adult) DHT was only bad, then you wouldn’t see any adverse side effects from blocking its synthesis. DHT is just an androgen receptor agonist, its effects in adult male biology are not understood very well, including the reasons why DHT blockers (absolutely do) cause a number of adverse side effects.
