I really don't know that people actually view Yamada that way... the take was actually pretty childish to me.
See, it's not like Yamada is not jealous at all, its just he is not expressive about it (he does get jealous with takaya but he is not childish), he has always been not expressive enough. And he knows that akane is an extrovert social butterfly that loves getting along with people, so he won't restrict her or shows his jealously. He actually fits Akane's personality so much by being like this, and if he is an overly jealous guy, Akane who has a lot of both male and female friends will get so restricted. He needs to have some kind of leniency towards jealously if he wanted to be couple with Akane in the long run. Remember that.
You guys said he doesn't have conscience, but Akane even have her old male friends pick her up from station to her house and ate at her place more than once (often). But it's fine anyways since Akane just views gim as chilhood friends. Yamada understand that so he didn't throw any tantrum. Also, Yamada confronted him DIRECTLY without making a big fuss through Akane, as he didn't want to make Akane feel bad.
And a lot of you guys said that it doesn't matter whether he saw Alex as a girl or not, she is still a girl! But it actually matters A LOT. If Akane keeps being like that, Yamada won't have any female friends though? Although before, Yamada once also said that he won't do anything that made Akane sad, and won't even interact with girls if needed, it's still not healthy.
While akane is being alllowed to have her own freedom, talking to boys, having a lot of male friends, Yamada is not allowed to have some? See, even akane herself thinks it doesnt make sense for her to restrict her boyfriend. Trauma or not, its her own problem. Thats why akane, while jealous, is not mad at yamada.
Akane is being consious of this, she understand her complax is not good for Yamada. And yet here you guys are getting mad over him for her somehow... It's like you guys have never seen a relationship that's not toxic before... where both sides are secure enough to let one another has a friend of different gender without thinking too much.
