Their complicated traits were partly the point. The show spent so much time plainly showing what power does to people. It makes you stronger. It makes you more prideful. It makes you spiteful. It makes you manipulative. It makes you dangerous. It makes you arrogant. It makes you lonely.

The whole show is an exploration of those themes. In the last season a character comments "so... are all your friends former Big Bads?" and the answer is yes. That's the point. They're imperfect people who have found themselves in a difficult position, and with immense power. And that effected and changed them. It effected how they dealt with problems. Every character in the show would deal with the same problem completely differently if you were to compare, say, season 3 versions to season 6.

And, personal opinion here, that is what makes them INTERESTING characters. The complexity is what's worth watching. Who wants to watch a bunch of sugar puffs be constantly Right and Good and Uncomplicated Forever?

Not me.

People really need to understand that this show was way darker than people who don't watch it think it was, or how people remember it years later.
