Yes, indeed.
Then you’ll definitely appreciate this brief thread I started a few days ago.
I need you around, you seem to be gifted. I the meantime I will start planting Drosera capensis and will keep atracting spiders as best as I can.
I’m about here. I figure most bugs are here to perform a service in nature - I would take a VERY dim view of someone who thought killing spiders or, of ALL THINGS, bees, was an ok thing to do.
Wasps and mosquitos, however, can do one. That said, I generally leave wasps alone because I’m afraid I’ll miss them and they will then round up all their friends and hunt me down.
I will not tolerate roaches inside. Spiders I dont mind so much. Flys are a damn nuisance. The cat takes care of the mice so I dont have to.
For stinging bugs, venomous snakes, other peoples dogs, other people, etc; they will be dispatched appropriately according to the risk I perceive from them. My heart sinks some when a life has stopped, even when it was necessary. Killing for the sake of killing is a sign there is something wrong.
If you take pleasure in stomping on bugs then it would bother me. If you go out of your way to stomp on a bug it would bother me. Otherwise, they’re just bugs, i don’t care much.
I certainly had my fear of insects when I was a child. A spider must be killed (by Dad) and bees incited terror. Now that I’ve grown up, some still squick me but unless they’re in my house(I’m looking at you, giant, flying roaches) or gnawing on my plants, I see no reason to harm them.
My gut reaction to the OP is “what is wrong with you?”
My daughter never kills bugs, and last week she put her money where her mouth is. They were seeing an unusual number of wasps/hornets both inside and outside of their house. They hired a humane pest control service who found a huge wasp.hornet nest within a wall of their home.
They opened up the wall, removed material including ~5,000 wasps/hornets, and relocated the pissed off bugs.
There are many, many, others including my friends who would do the same thing as me in the anecdotes I provided in the OP, especially during a meal. So you may want to rephrase that to “what is wrong with everyone?” 
Or one might want to rephrase it to “what’s wrong with you and your friends?”
I love bugs. Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve gone out of my way to find and observe them. It hurts my heart when they are squooshed. Usually if I find them in my house I am happy, unless there is an ant infestation or something (I once inadvertently ate ants with my breakfast cereal. Shudder.)
So no, I’d not be inclined to hang out with someone who squooshes bugs in my presence. When I was a kid, my Mom married a guy who squooshed bugs just to upset me. If you know it bothers me and continue to do it in my presence, you are not a very nice person. If you can’t respect the bugs, the least you could do is respect me.
Why can’t we all be friends? Bugs, bug lovers, and bug haters?
To the OP question: Depends on the bug and the circumstance.
Squashing potato beetles to save the potatoes or eggplant? That’s fine. Squashing a mosquito that’s biting you, or one flying around the bedroom that’s probably going to bite you? Also fine. Swatting a fly that’s buzzing around the kitchen and is likely to go back and forth between the cat pan and your dinner? No problem.
Killing a wasp nest that’s under the front steps and is trying to defend them against humans? There may be ways to relocate it without killing the wasps; but if such methods aren’t practical under the circumstances, then that’s all right. Killing wasps in general because they might possibly sting somebody sometime? Not all right at all; though this might be partially ignorance, as the person might not understand that wasps are generally beneficial, and really important environmentally.
Squashing bugs just because the squasher thinks bugs, in general or of that species, are icky? That’s icky. Might just be ignorance; but it’s unpleasant, and makes me think less of the person, yes. Thinking one’s entitled to kill what one thinks is icky is not a frame of mind I’m happy about.
Squashing bugs because the squasher thinks it’s fun to kill things? Makes me think the person’s both unpleasant and potentially dangerous.

– Full scale phobias would be another matter; but the person should either be trying to work on that or trying to avoid situations that are likely to include bugs, or both. I suspect however that most people with phobias are going to be trying to avoid bugs, rather than trying to squash them.
I’m friends with plenty of bug haters, probably people who squash bugs when I’m not around. I’m all too happy to remove a bug from their presence.
I saw hornets building a new nest before the first frost under my deck and made a note to remove said nest and set it on fire on a freezing cold day in January. But lo and behold after the first frost in November I spied a racoon one night under the light of a full moon hanging by his feet and reaching up under the deck over where the hornets nest was located. Checked on it the next day and there was a hug hole in the bottom of the nest where I guess he poked his head into and ate the colony.
I’m thinking he got a buzz from that. Natures candy. 
Stepping on ants? I don’t care. Crush as many as you want.
Stepping on a tarantula or a praying mantis? That seems kind of creepy.
Maybe it’s a matter of scale, in my case.
This is where I sit. I don’t kill anything that isn’t an actual problem. Despite my arachnophobia, I let spiders do their spider thing, wherever in the house or yard they may be. I leave wasps alone, if possible. The thought of messing with a bee would never cross my mind. I generally watch where I walk and make a concerted effort to not tread on any ants/beetles/what-have-you.
People who mindlessly kill anything with more than four legs horrify me.
Why set it on fire? On a freezing cold day in January you could have just relocated it. (If the raccoon hadn’t found it first.)
I try to only ever kill something I am afraid of or can’t see any other way to safely release. But I don’t take any pleasure in it at all. And If it’s a spider or a rodent, you can bet I’m freaking out the whole time.

I can’t say I dislike the person who goes out of their way to stomp bugs.
I have a mostly live and let live philosophy. I can coexist with most critters out of doors. Inside I do relocate creepy crawlies outside. I’ll kill flys all kinds and mosquitoes.
Bald faced hornets I’m especially fond off and will let them nest most anywhere. They’re good garden predators also feed on nectar, pollen and tree sap and the yellow jackets avoid their territory. Fun to watch them build their nests which btw are a food source for birds in winter. The queens have left the nest at first frost and the workers are dead and they do not return to the same nest.
My current avatar is of an active nest next to my house. No trace of it remains anymore, pecked at by birds. Some people collect them.
