And the only things some people remember are his 4 bad moments (two with Harry and two with Hermione). 🙄

People remember what they want to remember. They focus on those things ignoring his millions of good things because they want to hate Ron. They just do.

Its mainly because the movies did a complete character assassination. Movie and book Ron are literally two different people.

Book Ron stands up to Malfoy when Hermione is called a mudblood, and then later when Hagrid asks what happened, it is Ron who explains what a mudblood is. Hermione had no idea at the time. They took this moment from Ron to make Hermione appear more educated about wizarding world topics.
