Its mostly because of the ancient God's he was probably on of if not the most fair. He was just a God doing his job, not going out of his way to cause death and destruction. He unlike most he simply took the dead to the section of the afterlife not even believing it as much a reward/punish system as much as that was the only part of the afterlife they could live in ex: a peaceful person he didn't feel could exist in a place full of torture and violence or vice versa. He didn't even care that much of being worshiped all he cared for was keeping the natural order, having a wife at least part of the year and punishing those who tried to mess with the natural order of the universe.

He was the oldest (that or second oldest it's been a while) son of of Kronos and didn't get the sky due to drawing the shortest lots which some versions say Zeus made sure he got the heavens and in basically robed Hades of that position. Of the Greek Gods I found Hades, hephaestus and I believe the other one I recall liking was Hestia as they were saints in comparison as well as being far more likable. I personally hate Zeus and find the modern take of Zeus being considered "good/God" and Hades as "evil/Satan" annoying and inaccurate.
