I think this makes it easier for the writers to tee off on him. I'm not passing judgement either way but it is easier to be negative about a bad guy than a good guy.

Just look at the Lance Armstrong situation. There is virtually no chance that he did what he did and was clean since the entire biking world was doping and the fact he was prescribed EPO during his cancer treatment. But he was a sympathetic figure who raises money for cancer. People are certainly more willing to give him a pass than Barry.
