True. However, we 'assign desirability' only as pertaining to ourselves. We cannot assign desirability for an other-self.

I agree. It's just semantics. To an STO entity, actions considered acceptable by an STS entity are undesirable=bad=evil.
Apparently, some might have a reluctance to use terms such as good/evil because they have a religious connotation. But I wouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater. The terms STO/STS can sometimes get cumbersome so I see no reason not to employ the old standbys, good/evil. The gist is the same.
I think people just want to avoid sounding judgmental. I don't think it's inappropriate to label, say for example, the perpetrators of 911 as 'evil.'
Labeling something as evil just means it's kinda obviously STS. That doesn't make the STS path any less valid. We know that it's a valid path. But it's still evil, nonetheless! We just have a fancier, more accurate description for it than the religions do.

Very true. And in cases in which it's quite obvious that the entity is, say, enslaving an other-self, then yes, it's quite objective.
However, it gets tricky in situations in which the intentions of the entity aren't so obvious. That's where the gray area comes in, and in cases like that, it's better to not judge it, when we don't have all the facts. Even when we think we have the all facts, we don't.
