That's because she wasn't really "evil". She was just angry and rebellious, and was lashing out at the world for being denied something she had worked for and thought was rightfully hers. She didn't have some grand evil scheme like Chrysalis, or the Dazzlings, or Tirek, etc, she just wanted the crown and was basically making things up as she went along to try and get it. When she became corrupted and turned into a demon, that was when she actually became evil, but that wasn't the "real" (it's like how Rarity went kind of bad when she was using that magic book to change everything).
