Is it ok to be amused by a game launching broken/bad?

Sonic 06 is one that sticks in my mind; I've never played it but I know how infamous it is. It's amusing hearing a YouTuber's or streamer's reaction when something happens that's not by design, like going through the floor or getting launched across randomly, but also witness what other new glitches they discover, because of how badly Sonic 06 was made.

Don't forget Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric. That goes without saying, though.

I do think it is okay to laugh at broken launches or games that stay broken. I don't see who it's hurting in any meaningful way. You're not threatening violence on any of the devs or publishers, and often you do know the devs were in a very unfair position.

Boom is hard to laugh at as SEGA fucked over the studio. Forcing it on Wii U and forcing them to rush it. At least 06 is SEGA fucking themselves rather than a small independent studio.
