Just because Youkai are made from humanity does not subject them to the same moral viewpoint and law as humanity. Robots are made by humanity, yet they have different laws attached to them.
Youkai don't behave like humans either: not normally. You've likely read FS. You know that youkai that's newly born/transported into Gensokyo are very likely to cause immediate trouble. This isn't even just on FS, this is even seen on the games and other printwork, especially with the Vampire Incident mentioned above.
Both Youkai and Gods are born from "ideas", and it's extremely difficult, if not almost impossible, for them to remove themselves the "ideas" they're born with.
You can see this with a fairly recent example: Joon.
Joon tried hard to be a better person, and even joined Myouren Temple to do so, but ultimately failed. It's her destiny to be a greedy piece of shit, because that's how she was born as.
You can even see this with Kanako trying to become a different type of god.
All in all, this makes Youkai that have acclimated to Gensokyo's paradise odd, because that's not how youkai are supposed to act. Youkai are not supposed act friendly with humans. It's only the danger of extinction that forced youkai and deity hands to have this unnatural relationship.

Eiki doesn't care about morality, she cares about roles. And every living being has a role to play.
Reimu's human, with more free will to choose what they could be, more than any Youkai or God; yet she, like every human, has a role to play. She's a shrine maiden, and she's not acting like a proper one. Youkais' place in the world are far more rigid.
