Exactly, it’s a point of view. I think it is simple enough to accept what anyone says about the Force the same way people talk about their faith. People are expressing their views on the Force, but that doesn’t mean it is absolute truth.

But I will say that I think it is a misinterpretation to think balance refers to a balance between good and evil.

This is just my personal opinion, but if this is something that interests you, I would recommend reading up on Taoist philosophy and the concept of Yin and Yang. I feel like the Tao and the Force share a lot of similarities, and it might shed some light on what “the will of the Force” means, and how a balance between the dark side and the light doesn’t equate to a balance between good and evil. Again, not saying this interpretation is fact, but it’s the way I’ve chosen to interpret it, because it has given me an understanding of the Force that I think bears some relevance on real life philosophies.
