Yes, he was mad at Arthas for going mad with the power he gained, just to go to the same path.
Everyone is at least a little bit of a hypocrite

You had a bad Uther (went to SL) and a good uther (was in Arthas blade and helped us get Ashbringer). Two different characters

He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.
^ While I feel the quote does apply here, do keep in mind that his soul was damaged and split into two when he died. Seems to me that his rational side was the part that got trapped in Frostmourne.
His soul was split in two, he isn’t “complete” so isnt behaving like he would normally.

Uther is a broken soul with shattered mind. Can’t blame sick person, he needs help

Yeah Arthas was broken too, the Frostmourne corrupted his mind.
It split his Soul in two as well though the half in his Body actively tried to stop the Body from committing atrocities only for the Sociopath of a Body to eventually get fed up and shove the half in his Body into Frostmourne to join the other half so that the Sociopath Body could continue doing things without interference!
The fact that half of Arthas’s Soul was only able to nudge the Body rather than outright control it is unsurprising as Maldraxxus mentions that some Souls are too weak to become Liches so it seems half of Arthas’s Soul was too weak to control Arthas’s Body!
The Sociopathic Soulless Body of Arthas of course had to be careful after that as the Jailer had a chance of taking over him due to his lack of a Soul! As a result he couldn’t unleash the full might of the Scourge.
As Arthas’s Sociopath of a Soulless Body himself said in WC3 and the Arthas Novel: “No one orders me around!” Since he took orders from no one he held back the Scourge so the Jailer couldn’t order him around.
The Sociopathically Soulless Body got killed when Arthas’s Soul returned to his Body and since he lacked a Soul upon his demise he was almost completely erased from existence with the only remnant being the Memory of Arthas bound to the Blades of the Fallen Prince!
Arthas’s Soul upon returning to his Body frantically asked his father if it was over and after being informed that it was he noticed Uther’s hand preparing to throw him into Darkness!
Didn’t you hear? Kids loved that edgy GoT thrash years ago so Blizzard needs to ShAdEs Of GrEy the game and make everyone so dark and brooding (but as usual like all their cringy meme references, do it several years too late)
