Especially since directly bombing civilians wasn’t something generally practiced by the allies

Bullcrap.

The mass-slaughter of civilians from the air became SOP for the allies by about 1943. The firebombings of cities like Dresden and Tokyo is still some of the most heinous mass-atrocities in modern history - if not all history. This secret is out of the bag - the (supposed) "military value" of these targets was secondary to the mass-slaughter of civilians - and the architects of these atrocities (like Curtis LeMay) wasn't shy about bragging about it, either.

And the US did even worse during the Korean and Vietnam Wars.
