Certainly, the Orcs were ruled out of fear -- of that there can be no doubt; yet, left to their own devices (as when ruled by Bolg to the North), they retained a malevolence and hatred for all things which is perhaps a calculated matter of breeding over countless generations. In regards to Forodrim's new thought regarding the complimentary balance of evil, I would suggest that evil in Middle-earth was a pattered digression that mirrored in many ways the descent of the the free peoples from greatness to mundanity (the fading of Elves, the waning of the Numenoreans/Dunedain, etc.). Evil diminishes from Vala (Morgoth) to Maia (Sauron or Saruman) and eventually such great power disseminates into Men, the Aftercomers.
