#Yes an argument that Skulker could also fill that roll but I don't view him strictly as a ghost hunter

I like The GIW’s place in the Danny phantom universe. Specifically because they’re one dimensional villains.  With the other ghost hunters that appear in the show, like Valerie or the Fentons, there exists the complex answers to the question of ‘how would they react to finding out that the creature they’ve been hunting down and have plans to torture is actually a human?’  Even worse a human that they personally care about. 
There are great stories to be made about that, but lets be honest we need at least ONE ghost hunting faction that won’t slow down upon discovering Danny’s secret.  If anything, they get more persistent at capturing him upon discovery.
The canon material mostly used them to poke fun at bureaucracy and what happens when an organization clearly doesn’t care WHO it hires so long as they tick the boxes.
But when the Phandom uses them for horror purposes, they’re really effectively scary.  We all know the evil that can come from people paid to just do a job and not think twice about the people affected by said job.
I’m glad that among the ghost hunters in the show, we’ve got something to fill that roll.
