So Dalinar is the leader of Knights Radiant despite committing an act of genocide but Venli needs to do something to deserve being a Radiant?
I think they are refering to "earning" the right to be a cool character on a meta level, rather then about qualifications for being a Radiant. Which in this case I don`t agree and I don't mind her stumbling into being a Radiant, since that's how most of the current Radiants got the job. And technically, Venli commited genocide against Listeners.

Vyre can not have a redemption arc because he deposed an incompetent king whose rule had caused the suffering of countless others
That's not what he did. And those are not the reasons they give for not wanting him to have a redemption arc.

but we have not even bothered with a redemption arc for Dalinar burning down an entire city full of civilian population.
