Hades definitely has his issues (e.g. kidnapping someone and tricking them into eating the fruit of the underworld), but most of the other famous Greek gods were worse (especially Zeus).
Then she only came back for each half year because people complained about nothing growing anymore, and thus Zeus sent Hermes to get her.
My head canon is that she wasn't tricked by Hades to eat the pomegranate, but did it deliberately knowing very well that she would have to return to him because of it.
I'm always a bit torn on these modern revisions. Medusa, Persephone, etc, they all promote an interpretation of myths that simply aren't true from most records, and thus portray an inaccurate version of the societies that told them, but, on the other hand, these myths never really had much in the way of "official" versions anyways.
If people change them to match the values of the times, that's more than a traditional way of doing things. Hell we KNOW the versions we have are culturally biased, especially towards Athenian interpretations.
