The reason it's subjective is that, in practice, people cannot agree on which characters qualify. Complete Monster also should be objective, but experience has shown that this does not work.

Charm is hardly objective. We recently had a vote on Adam the Clown from Dead Rising and were split based on if his Laughing Mad nature makes him more or less charming. What may seem cool or stylish to one may not to another.
There’s a lot of objective criteria to it, yes, but also a good deal of criteria that people can disagree on.

Magnificent Bastard is listed under YMMV, and its description talks about these smart, villainous characters charming audiences. However, I have noticed quite a few things:
All in all, if there is an actual YMMV angle to consider about the trope, then it feels like I, alongside a lot of others, are missing it.
