Sure, by the end Michael had gone to some really dark place. But at the beginning, he was pretty well adjusted.
Fredo was just weak and ineffective. Vito really should have set him up in some small legit enterprise outside of the true family business. Maybe running a small grocery or something. He was just never going to be able to cut it in the cutthroat world that the Corleone's operated in.

no. He wasn't. He was always evil. Mike is the one who suggests killing a cop, a near unbreakable taboo in his first foray into the Business. He is not the corrupted, he is always Corrupt. There is no fall from grace.
That's why the "that's my family, not me" line is so important. It is him. He was more ruthless than Vito ever dreamed of being himself.
