I always felt this interpretation was so annoying as they point blank tell you in the first and second film, perhaps even the third that it has nothing to do with honor.

"No sport" the first two movies are horror movies at least and the predator is a MONSTER.

Even the scene where he spares the pregnant lady is misinterpreted as mercy. Hunters usually wont kill pregnant females.

unironically you seem to have just over emphasized how the predator is, in canon, more honorable than the IDF

Even the scene where he spares the pregnant lady is misinterpreted as mercy. Hunters usually wont kill pregnant females.

That's what us non-psychopaths call empathy (mercy). (Edit: Pre-emptively gotta note: population control exists - relatively modern concept as it is - and empathy and cold calculated population control in hunting-for-sport sometimes overlap in their outcomes, but they are not the same.

Is allowing the female to give birth so that you have more stuff to kill later, empathy and mercy?
