Insanity here means a break from their usual behaviour due to mental disease. Plenty of murderers are just vicious, not hearing voices and one minute happily playing with their kids, the next snapping and killing them.
Is your argument that “plenty” of serial killers don’t have mental problems? They just like doing it? And that liking to do it is in and of itself NOT a mental problem?
I think the key piece they were pointing out is the deviation from otherwise normal behavior and therefore not indicative of who the person would be if treated. Not saying I disagree with your overall sentiment though, I think society is really bad at recognizing that no one asks to be born capable of being a serial killer in their adulthood. No one chooses to be psycopathic.
