"Person of the Year" should be renamed "Most Chaotic Person of the Year"

I mean that's literally what the award is for.

a person, group, idea, or object that "for better or for worse... has done the most to influence the events of the year"

It could be...but it's supposed to be the most newsworthy/discussed person. Doesn't necessarily have to be for negative reasons. Greta Thunberg was Times POTY in 2019. Last year was Taylor Swift and before that was Zelensky.
