"why did Zuko's memories portray Azula Like That? Is he an unreliable narrator? do the authors hate younger sisters"
Azula was openly Ozai's favorite, and even at that age she had enough political savvy to know that she can functionally do no wrong; the only time anyone expresses any kind of open disapproval of her at all is when her mother tells her off or complains about it. A rich child of that age who is also the favored daughter of one of the most powerful men in the country (and as Iroh doesn't seem to have much interest in politicking at all, Ozai likely had more political power than Iroh ever did), she could get away with pretty much anything she felt like doing, and she knew it
the most significant factor being, in addition to that, that she is emulating everything Ozai says and does; even if she doesn't BELIEVE it herself (and based on her other statements and actions at times when she doesn't have anything to gain by toeing the party line, she probably does), that is still going to color her world view and personal decisions
so, assuming Zuko's memories ARE accurate (and the show doesn't really do unreliable narrator that much), its pretty clear why Azula is Like That. It's because she's the openly favored child of a notoriously violent and cruel tyrant, and already a pampered child of the most powerful family in a country that reveres power and ferocity above anything else, and she is actively imitating that violent and cruel tyrant.
Given that we have little reason to believe anyone ever disciplined her in any shape or form beyond Ozai expressing disapproval of her actions (and its quite possible he's never really done that either), her behavior isn't surprising at all; if anything she should be significantly worse.

I baked brownies!
22 calorie brownies
Used this mix.... but instead of oil I used pumpkin puree.
1 serving is 1/16th of this pan, so they are small.
But wow. 22 calories?
That is significant! 🙌

I’m definitely not saying that the old Star Wars Legends books were all good, and I’ll be the first to criticize them for all the interesting creative decisions and sometimes questionable writing quality, but there will always be a little part of me that’s salty about how they got almost completely discarded in favour of the Mouse’s new canon hegemony. Was Legends really that good? Eh, not really. So often, it was a case of ‘Cool concept, completely dropped the ball on the execution.’ Are there a lot of good things about the new canon that we wouldn’t be able to have with Legends? Absolutely. Is it still a shitty thing to overwrite decades worth of creative effort and collaboration for the sake of corporate marketing? Generally, yeah.
