Usually the answer is Hated, because it's easier to cause changes, even positive changes, from a place of negative notoriety than from no notoriety. And even long after something hated dies, new life can spring from it, years or generations later. Hitler, Stalin, and Sonic '06 all have countless video essays on YouTube about how even if they weren't the greatest, they really weren't THAT bad, and there are positive things we could learn from them. And you might think that's ridiculous, but simultaneously, you also have to admit that nobody really remembers very much about your own great grandfather.
Very few things are truly better off left forgotten.
