They did, but "collectively" means that some went so as not to desert their fellows, not purely through their own desire.
However, otherwise I agree with what you said, Galadriel.
I think I feel too detached from Feanor to either hate or love him, although I too empathise with his losses.
He's the kind of character whose deeds make you uncomfortable, although you admire him, and that's why he's so powerful and memorable, I think. Perhaps Turin has some elements of this, too. The flawed and tragic hero that you can't forget but can't always wholly forgive either?
