I have. In one of the Guide to Ravenloft threads, one person (whom I eventually blocked for unrelated reasons) talked about the Relentless Killer monster, literally quoted this part of its info block: "Relentless killers are hateful, revenge-obsessed creatures" and said that because the monster didn't have an alignment, that wasn't enough information to know if the creature was good or evil or what its motivations are, and that being hateful and revenge-obsessed could be read as lawful good. (I can link you the actual post, if you like.)The first has never been a main camp. That's a misinterpretation of the people in favor of alignment. Hell, in the last dozen or so alignment threads I've been a part of here, I can't remember anyone even making that argument, let alone enough to be a main camp.
I have also seen people that have said that things like mind flayers might as well be treated as good and you can't kill them, if there's no alignment listed. Because a creature that parasitizes your body like a psychic super-intelligent cordyceps in order to reproduce, performs horrific experiments on sentient beings for alien reasons, and who eats the brains of intelligent beings, clearly must be good, if there's no words in its statblock that say otherwise.
This might not be a common argument--I hope not because ye gads--but it's an argument that some people do in fact use.
