My understanding also is that the angels have perfect knowledge and by spending time in the undiluted presence of God, they knew exactly what they were turning against so they have no excuse for turning to sin and rebelling against God. Humans on the other hand all have to look through a mirror dimly. Plus we are God's children and He loves us like family so Jesus came and died for us.
