Well, I would argue that Hook didn't really help Emma improve greatly though as she did for him. While romantic, I believe that change isn't something that is or should be thrust upon someone because then it walks a fine line. Example: Hook went dark and there was nothing but evilness because all of his goodness hinged on Emma. If Hook betrayed Emma, Emma wouldn't go super dark like he did. That's because as Hook shows, he is dependant on others to keep him up and until he outgrows that (if he did yet has to be determined) then it's not that beneficial.
