I think time wasn’t super kind to it. And I don’t remember how clear it was in the movie that Scott’s just not a good dude. My memory of the story is that the core is: Scott is bad. Scott accepts that. Scott starts doing better. But maybe that’s just my headcannon.

It’s a good lesson though! Just because you were bad doesn’t mean you are bad. You can change. Life isn’t a simplistic video game. It’s a lesson I’ve needed from time to time.
