I think with so many of the hell-oriented characters it comes down to a recognition that a lot of people dig the hellish aspect but if they aren't ultimately good characters then fans will drop out. Switching companies for a moment, Spawn is the pinnacle of capitalizing on Hell's appeal while at the end of the day still being on the good side. Of course Spawn's story got extremely convoluted pretty fast so using him as an example only applies to the earlier material.
