The memory stone didn't blanket remove Sunset from the girls' memories. It only removed good experiences with her.

Don't underestimate the human mind's ability to handle lost memories. We all have 'memories' that are actually our brain's attempt to sow together disconnected memories to cover blanks or re-edit our experiences to meet our preconceived notions. Human memory is a flawed tool at best and it can and will lie to us if the opportunity is given.

I think that amnesiac!Sunset was too disoriented by finding herself in an alien body and in a strange place for her villainous nature to emerge. The first thing she experienced was a strange, lavender-skinned alien to show her love and acceptance. Remember the very first ball queen photo? When she first arrived in Canterlot City, Sunset really did have a lot of room in her for being accepted. It took time and effort on her part for her ambition to corrupt her.
