Yes.
Operation Cinder is a stupid, short sighted, comically evil and morally indefensible endeavour.
Yes!
That’s the point!
The Galactic Empire is an organisation of EVIL!
The cruelty is the point!
Plus! Palpatine is exactly the kind of person who’d rather see the galaxy burn than accept the fact that his tyranny was rejected.

I think we should talk about Operation: Cinder more often because Palpatine was such a fucking asshole that he had a contingency plan in the event of this death that involved destroying worlds who supported the Empire for failing to protect him from being killed.
This is when Iden and Del chose to betray the Empire and what ate at Miggs Mayfeld's conscience for years.
Something fascinating that I haven't seen many people talking about is the reveal that The Night of a Thousand Tears was after the Galactic Civil War.
It's just a little detail but it's one that puzzled and intrigued me at first. I'd always assumed that it had happened during the war. After all, wouldn't the Mandalorians be a major threat to the Empire?
I wonder, though, if the Mandalorians were just quiet enough, if they avoided open conflict with the Empire, that the Emperor weighed the risks and decided that it wasn't worth kicking the hornet's nest that was an ancient civilization of warriors.
But then he dies, and Operation Cinder takes place.
If you're not familiar with Operation Cinder, it's the Emperor's posthumous order to bomb Imperial loyalists to "punish" them for his death. Thus, most worlds targeted were staunch Imperial loyalists. Palpatine's own homeworld of Naboo was targeted.
But there were a few exceptions; the planet Abednedo was occupied because it was sympathetic to the Rebellion.
Mandalore was "glassed." Was it a part of Operation: Cinder? Was it orbital bombardment? Did the order come directly from the Emperor, out of the grave? Or was it someone else's?
And most of all why? Was it out of fear that Mandalore would become too powerful for the crumbling Empire to defeat? Was the planet deemed too dangerous to exist? Or was it just petty cruelty, like the other worlds? Was there any resistance? Were there any Imperial defectors who left because of the horror they saw there? How many Mandalorians survived, fled? Where was Bo-Katan? And why the kriff were the Wrens on Mandalore itself? Or was Krownest also destroyed?
What is this "Great Work" that everyone keeps talking about in Skeleton Crew, though? It can't be from Palpatine, right??
Disclaimer: this is all, of course, speculation, as nothing was confirmed in the series.
It's interesting that you bring up Palpatine, as he did have multiple contingency plans in case he ever met his demise. One of these was Operation Cinder, an orbital bombardment campaign meant to punish the Galactic Empire for failing to prevent his death. Considering the Supervisor mentioned the Jedi being traitors, it is a possibility that the Great Work mentioned in Skeleton Crew was one of the contingency plans concocted by Palpatine. With how much wealth is stored in the vaults, it's possible that At Attin served as a personal wealth caché for Palpatine outside of the Banking Clans that he was utilizing to fund certain projects, such as the the sentinal messenger droids that relay his posthumous instruction for Operation Cinder to loyal Imperial officers, or other secretive, darkside schemes like his cloning in The Rise of Skywalker.
However, some of us that have delved into the High Republic believe it is possible that the Great Work is actually in reference to Chancellor Lina Soh's Great Works projects from the High Republic era (which, for those who are unfamiliar with this era, takes place about 150 years prior to the prequels).
Ok but this is sooo glam. The red leather gloves cloak combo?? She killed this

"If you would do 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨," he went on, and swept his hand, gesturing to the corpse of Nacronis, "then there is nothing that will drive you out. ..."
I can only imagine just how upset Thrawn might've been about Operation Cinder, had he not been space-whaled. All of that effort he put into bolstering the Empire's power, all of the Ascendancy's secrets that he shared with the Emperor in confidence, all of the personal sacrifices he made to his own morals - just for a chance at saving his people (or providing a suitable lamb for the slaughter in between the Grysks and the Ascendancy proper) just for Sheev to burn the entire thing down effective immediately following his death
