If a community of people consistently acted in accordance with "ordinary
middos", that in itself would be impressive. And if that community are
the carriers of devar H', would that positive impression made not be a
qiddush Hashem?

IOW, why do you assume there is a setirah between simply doing what
you're supposed to and making a qiddush Hashem?

Tir'u baTov!
