The legacy of the UK is certainly not generally looked at in the same light as similarly evil 20th century regimes. (Nor is the US)
The reason has more to do with the fact that victors write history, and the Empire co-opted and exploited local institutions. So while Britain’s Empire was lost, its language and cultural impact reigns supreme in many ways to this day.
