Orochimaru was evil evil, but his goals weren't, let's say... global. So he quickly became irrelevant.
Hidan was also evil, but sadly he was just an underdeveloped, minor character.

But knowing Kishi, if he gave the two I mentioned more panel time and story relevance, they would've ended up getting TnJ'd as well due to some sad childhood stories we haven't gotten to know yet.

You just need to deal with the fact that in Naruto, relevant villains will never be evil.

I don't like the fact that once they are redeemed we are supposed to forget all their evil deeds as if some sad past is an excuse for any kinds of terrible crimes.

I'm not against redemption as long as the villain doesn't just do a 180 flip back to their "non-evil" selves and the author doesn't mean for us to view them as full-on good guys. That's just not realistic.
