IKR, Yang may seem like a nice girl, but on retrospective, she's the most selfish character amidst the main cast (I have yet to consider Raven main cast). Her entire motivation for being a Huntress was to have fun travelling and look for Raven.

Ruby genuinely wishes to help people.

Weiss wants to restore her family to its former prestige before Jacque took over.

Blake wants to end the terror her families former orginization now causes, and bring true equality to the Faunus.

Jaune wanted to live up to the reputation his family set as being heroes, and now he wants to avenge the death of the first person who ever truly believed in him.

Ren and Nora are a bit iffy but its more than likely they wanted to stop what happened to them from happening to anyone else, and they too want to avenge the death of their teammate.

Qrow wants to help Ozpin out and stop Salem while looking out for his nieces.

Ozpin and Oscar want to stop Salem.

Even Sun, whose motivations mainly stem from Blake, genuinely wants to help her achieve her goals.

Yet Yang for the longest time wanted to just have fun. True she went to find Ruby and resolved to help her even after finally finding Raven, but that was only after being hit with a big heaping of PTSD and letting Ruby run off for several months as she wallowed in it (I am not diminishing the hardships PTSD brings, I am pointing out however that she only got involved due to Ruby running off for several months which Yang seemed apathetic too for quite some time)

Plus her only stake in the entire deal with Salem is basically "My sister is involved, so I'll get involved too." Everyone else has legitimate reason to join the fight against Salem to some extent. Yang's is the flimsiest.

It also doesn't help that out of all the main cast, she is the only one to not truly develop sans Ruby. Weiss "Defrosted", Blake finally stopped running and accepts help, Jaune is starting to get good, Nora is more reigned in, Ren is more open, Qrow is acting less like a drunken goof, Sun is trying to help Blake rather than just gush over her. Yang still has her rage issues, her PTSD making them worse, and has just barely started trying to reign them in. Still confrontational, her grudge with Blake was more irrational rather than justified as Weiss pointed out, and still rushes in without thinking.

As much as I can like Yang, when you look deeper, you start to see she is the worst main cast member. Even if you find Ruby bland, at least she isn't as bad as Yang.
