You could suggest that, but Josephus is, in general, pretty positive about Roman rule, even in Iudea.

It seems likely, to my eyes, that the fact that he treats Roman rule positively, but a handful of Roman officials negatively, suggests that those officials had some behavior of their own that was genuinely disagreeable to Iudeans.
