Does it? The only words out of Amon's mouth that we can trust to any degree at all come after Korra declares him as a bloodbender. His plans boil down to "I'm going to depower you, but not yet, because reasons". The only real hint we have for his motivation is a guess by someone who hadn't seen him in 20 years.
Amon is full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. I appreciate Zaheer because he's just a dangerous, clever man who assembles a team of other dangerous people to hunt down the Avatar. There's no traaaaagic backstory or deep motivation necessary. He provides a dangerous challenge to Korra and reverts the usual "heroes as underdogs" dynamic, because it's mostly just four people.
That's another reason Im disinterested in Zaheer - there's nothing really there to him. He's just an *******.
