Why is Hitler reviled more than Stalin and Mao?
Who killed far more people, mostly their own people and outside of wartime, and who many in their own countries still regard as heroic figures?

Because reviling someone is about more than body count.
You answered your own question, really. They mostly killed their own people and it was outside of wartime. Hitler was fought directly in a war by the West. Mao and Stalin weren't. That doesn't make it morally superior, but that is why Hitler looms large in a way that Mao and Stalin don't, though they are certainly reviled in the West.
