Satan is not God's evil counterpart. If anything, Michael would be opposite to satan, not God being opposite to satan.
And that is how the UR apologist sets up their argument. It's in the form of a logical fallacy. It assumes you agree with them. And they base their beliefs not on facts but on an appeal to people's feelings
