Why is the demonization of the Son Family still a thing?

Especially when it comes to making Vegeta and Bulma look good when considering those two are like the most egocentric and possibly flawed non-bad guys in the series:

Vegeta

-Let Gero build the androids instead of stopping him... granted Goku is the second prime suspect but Vegeta is much more aggressive and unapologetic about it
-Refuses to save baby Trunks and his baby-mama then bluntly states to his future son's face that he doesn't give a shit about him or his mother
-Ignores Trunks' warnings about the androids and selfishly chooses to fight them on his own while dragging the whole time down
-Threatens to kill Piccolo for giving the most logical solution about dealing with Cell
-Let's Cell absorb #18 just so he can satisfy his battle boner even going as far as to attack his own son
-Deliberately let Babidi possess him just so he can settle the score with Goku... in fact, that's the only he helped out with the Babidi situation in the first place
-Kills a bunch of people in the WMAT stadium just so his man-crush can notice him
-He never hugged his son till his sacrifice

Bulma

-Wants the dragonballs so she can have the perfect boyfriend
-Shoots a little boy first thing after nearly running it over... all without warning or regret for her actions
-Bribes said little boy for his four-star dragonball (which happens to be memento to his adoptive grandfather) just to feel up her ass and tricks him into her adventure only to *bleep* him over in the end
-Refuses to help out Umigame to the water because it would slow down their adventure even though it would only take an hour
-Shouts out her bust size to Oolong when he has children captive
-Forces the tired Oolong to drive while she works on her make-up resume and ignores Oolong's warning about Yamcha
-Forces herself into Goku's adventure to face the Red Ribbon Army
-Lusts after any man she deems attractive despite being in a relationship... even though she gets pissed when ever a girl as so much as notice Yamcha's existence
-Complains about Yamcha never being around even though she's the one who drove him away
-Attempts to leave Goku for dead in a collapsing underwater cave
-Blames Krillin for something she did (destroying the Saiyan spaceship)
-Bitch-tastic display during the Journey to Namek
-Complains about having to live in caves even though there's a genocide going on outside it
-Basically shits all over Yamcha's name to her son in the future
-Drives a ship into the danger zone with her baby just to look at some androids
-Slaps Beerus over her "38th" birthday party... even though she saw him wreck the Z-Warriors and declare having Earth destroyed over pudding
-Beats up Jaco for spreading them truth-bullets

With all this why do people speak the Son Family's name in vain so much? Sure, they may have made mistakes (mostly Goku) but they never mean harm or were unkind. Do you people just like Jerk Heroes better or is there truth to their words? Even modern stuff within the franchise seems to be really playing into these perceptions within the fandom.

Is Goku really the amoral selfish manchild and negligent family man... is Gohan the nerdy loser who's nothing but a disgrace... is Chi-Chi the horrid shrew bitch who needs her head busted wide open?

Don't forget Chichi...
-Practically forced Goku to marry her through a stupid promise. Even when she realized
Goku is special in his head and he had no idea what he had promised, she still didn't
release him from that obligation. She actually turned an oblivious man into her husband,
because, in her obsessed head, he was the ''one''. When, over their marriage, she realized
Goku was not who she thought he was (which should have been obvious to her in the first
place, not only after the wedding), instead of blaming herself for being an obsessed idiot,
she placed all the blames at the still oblivious Goku.
-Blamed Goku for Gohan being kidnapped by Piccolo, even though Goku was dead at that point,
so there's nothing he could have done.
-Did not give a shit about Goku, when he was almost dead after his fight with Vegeta, having
just saved the whole planet (which of course includes herself's and her son's butts).
-Cares more about Gohan's education than the possibility of the Earth getting destroyed (she
clearly stated it before the Android arc), even though, if the Earth gets destroyed, Gohan
won't be able to get an education; in other words, she's totally unreasonable.
-Immediatelly liked Videl after finding out she was rich; she had no problem prompting her
17 year old son to marry a woman he barely knew, just for financial reasons.
