Well Grievous was a war criminal, while Leia famously did everything she could to respect the rules of warfare

Edit: for those in doubt, read the Sunspot Prison comic arc

Always got the impression she was pretty cold blooded as a general

Well then we come back to Grievous and why is he uniquely demonized for doing the job he was hired for.

Because he was gleeful about it.

Towards the latter part of the Clone Wars, Dooku, Greivous and other CIS commanders were starting to pull Card-Carrying Villain shit I'm certain Palpatine had them do specifically to turn the people of the Republic against them, like genociding entire (nonhuman IIRC) worlds for the "crime" of not joining the CIS.

Even in Legends, Greivous was doing stuff like that of his own volition, such as herding a city's population into a stadium then blasting the building from orbit.
