Vegeta became popular precisely because he was a higly amusing and cool asshole. That's it. Being a bad guy never really prevented any character from getting massively popular. Dio, Accelerator, that guy from Made in the Abyss, Alucard, the entire Drifters cast, Gilgamesh, Yuno, etc. are all beloved characters despite their nature. Because they have that much charisma. In other words, they are fun to watch despite being awful people.

The main problem with Charioce is that he just simply doesn't have much charisma as a character. Not that many would mind him and his atrocities if he was highly enertaining to watch. (Just look at my examples.) But the guy is quite boring as an anti-villain. He is very deadpan most of the time and the character moments which flesh him out are quite subtle and rare so he just simply doesn't have much charisma, that's it.
