The Aztecs had massive human sacrifice, they killed so many people a year they had to go take people from other tribes to get their quota for the year. It’s likely that the Canaanites would have turned to coexisting Israelites for fresh meat had they not taken a good number of them out first. Then they also threw babies into bonfires. Pretty sure God didn’t like that either.

The Aztec system was actually slow genocide on the people they conquered. Whenever they find human remains in an Aztec temple it consists mostly of the bones from women and children. The other tribes were literally having the ability to reproduce being snatched from them. I’m fine with what the Spanish did there, the Aztecs are among the evilest people to ever live.

The main beef the Egyptians had with the Israelites was the fact that they had huge families while the Egyptians were not reproducing due to infanticide and child sacrifice. This was a problem in the entire bronze age world around this time period and the Canaanites were no different. The Israelites were the only group in the area that didn’t practice this behavior hence why the story of Arabrham and Isaac is so prominent.
Murdering or not murdering your children are diametrically opposed systems that we see as today (with pro-life vs pro-abortion). The tribe that doesn’t murder their children is naturally going to be more numerous and completely disgusted by the child murder tribes. Extinction of the child murders is likely to follow, as it should.
