Most of the Earth-616 Spider-Man villains besides Norman Osborn, Venom, Sandman and a few of his more significant ones didn't have much development or decent motivations though and they're often evil for the sake of being evil. Mysterio's backstory was that he was a failed actor who decided to become a supervillain for example! There's no explanation for Electro being a villain despite us knowing he has a backstory of him being invited to the Brotherhood of Mutants by Magneto and him killing a person on accident, he's just seen trying to rob the Daily Bugle. Kraven wants to prove he's the best hunter in the world so he decides to go after Spider-Man, oh and he's probably insane.

But in my opinion, that's completely fine. Kraven's not an interesting villain because of his motivation or backstory, it's his personality and how he's utilized. The same applies to Mysterio too, he's interesting, he has interesting powers, he's sometimes hammy and I love it. That's why I never saw it as a problem in the Ultimate universe since they interested me for different reasons.
