My interpretation is that most replicants just want to be left alone to get a job and live out their lives in peace, but are forced into criminal acts because of the Blade Runners chasing them down.
Like Frankenstein's creature, Batty is an exception. He wants to meet his creator and get some answers. And just like Marry Shelley's creation, when he sees that he cannot get the answers he seeks, and when he sees the nature of his 'creator' he determines to destroy him. The other Nexus models seem to be simply following his lead.
The 'blade runner's' job is an interesting one. It doesn't seem to be to protect the public or private individuals. There seems to be little (if any) attempt to warn or protect Tyrell and his employees (in fact they seem entirely ambivalent in regards to security or self preservation).
It appears that the blade runner's job is purely one of pursuing and destroying replicants, regardless as to whether they merit it. Which is why I suggest that simply allowing replicants to live out their last remaining days would be a better alternative.
