So perhaps the updated hypothesis is all asshole communities are tied to live service games, but not all live service games have asshole communities?

I’m not a huge mmo fan but I do like Final Fantasy 14, in part because the community is surprisingly friendly.

So yeah, I support “live service games attract bad communities, but sometimes they rise above that”.

No, there are asshole in all types of games including Single player. Even if Souls has multiplayer, I've seen toxic communities in even games like Breath of the Wild

Pretty much, yeah.
