Being a sadist, professional and polite is just a few but the major selling point of a villain mainly is their personality, goals, charisma and capabilities (and blahblahblah ceebs listing them).

I don't know about Girahim but the rest you mentioned are all charismatic with personalities that we like and both of them are capable of doing something in extreme measures with completely disregards human life and their interactions with the protagonist. (etc and such, you know)

Neo imo is popular due to her character design, (the traits you mentioned) and her fighting skills. She however lacks charisma but makes up for most of it with character design, actions and her personality/behaviour. The combination of the 3 makes it overpowering as it compliments it quite well.
