Lila's lies do affect others. It's not fair to lead people astray for selfish reasons, even if their stemmed in relatable feelings like wanting to get attention or be liked, and an intentional betrayal of trust hurts those who were victims. No one likes to be tricked or made to look like fools because of lies, and it can be painful and demeaning. Lila isn't only lying either. She's using manipulation to get what she wants while pushing down anyone who interferes with her goals. Spoilers for "Chameleon", but it's disgusting and disturbing how Lila degrades Marinette by turning everyone against her. Part of Marinette's dislike for Lila may be jealousy, but another huge aspect of it is defiance against tricking and disappointing multiple people, causing more harm than good.

It's okay to like Lila and hope she improves (if Chloé proves anything, anyone in the series can be set on the path of redemptoin), and people who do should be respected because they have legitimate reasons. However, don't underplay that Lila has done some morally questionable things towards others by not being honest with them or using lies to turn people against each other.
