I agree, despite how much the fandom likes to "romanticize" characters like Chrysalis & Tirek, they don't exactly have any redeemable qualities in canon. (I'm sorry, but Chrysalis is not some "adorable sweet bug mother," nor is Tirek a "nice misunderstood guy")
I accept that, and I'm fine with some villains staying villains. As I said, even if they were reformed, fans would just complain about how overboard the series is with that, and such. Some were actually begging not to reform them before the finale, and let's not forget all the drama over reforming the Changeling kingdom, or Starlight, and even Discord. In fact, Lauren Faust even stated she's not fond of the "reforming villains" trope, despite penning Nightmare Moon/Luna's reformation. (I assume she meant she's not against it, but doesn't like overdoing it.)
I'm not against reforming a few though. Reforming Diamond Tiara worked for me, because we hardly knew anything about her besides "lol blank flanks," and it finally allowed us to see other sides to her character, and why she bullied the CMC. (And it wasn't just her Mother, it seemed hinted she had issues with understanding her cutie-mark, and was kinda jealous the CMC got along so well with others, had families that got along, and such.)
Plus her sad song is probably one of the most adorable, and heart breaking moments in the whole series.
So it really depends on how it's done.
