If by 'more interesting' you mean 'more complicated', then yes, they all are. On the other hand, her simplicity is kind of what makes Maleficent for me. She's not grasping for anything. She's not seeking power, like Ursula or Scar, or immortality like Gothel, because she already has them. She's not troubled by lust or the need to justify herself like Frollo. She does what she wants just because she wants it. She does what she wants because she can. If she feels slighted by someone, she makes them pay. If she wants something, she takes it. She's terrifying because she's just that powerful, that capricious, and that spiteful, for no good reason and with no capacity for negotiation. You don't have anything she wants, and even if you did, she'd just take it from you. She's scary because she's simple.

I don't know. It depends on what you want in a character/villain, I guess, but you don't necessarily need complex motives or backstory to make a good character. If you do it right, sometimes simplicity works just as well. Maleficent may not be the best, but she is my favourite.
