I feel like people aren't really being fair to Jotaro, he's definately rude and maybe makes some poor decisions when it comes to Jolyne and his wife, but he's easily one of the "goodest Joestars" About his attitude problems, we don't really know why he turned into a delinquint but his actions make sense. When he sees something he considers wrong, he crushes it without hesitation but he's clearly against going too far, notice how most of the people he goes against "retire"(DIO being the only exeption cuz of what he was), Star Platinum clearly pulls his punches, he isn't using diamond breaking strength against everyone he goes against

He has a super strong moral compass, it may seems like he goes overboard but he really doesn't, he punishes stand users his own way beacuse he considers himself someone able to judge them, just listen to his speech when fighting Kakyoin. On top of all that, he goes out of his way to do good, he's had the most direct involvement out of all the Joestars, he didn't have to investigate Morioh or hunt for the arrows or make sure Giorno was a good boi(notice how he didn't approach the situation thinking that DIO's son is pure evil)

Intent is also a big part of deciding how good or bad something is, he had reasons for distancing himself from his wife and daughter and the way he did it makes sense, his father was mostly absent during his life while his mother just left him to his own whims and that didn't really affect him, to Jotaro it was the sensible solution(although i do get why people are upset with his methods, he didn't do it out of disdain for his family)
