I do not know if "most" is the proper assessment there. I would agree to "some".
Unconditional surrender was demanded because the conditional surrender at the end of WWI was part of what brought about WW2.
I would not call it questionable at all, it is what all the allies agreed upon to demand from the axis powers.
