There has not been enough screen time with Jaime to demonstrate that even though what he did seemed like the most reasonably just thing ever, nobody else saw it that way.
Isn't it implied that everyone else looks down on Jamie's Kingslaying actions because he was a member of the Kingsguard, and broke his oath by killing King Aerys? Especially since until the last episode apparently very few knew about King Aerys's plans to kill citizens with wildfire once Tywin started sacking the city. So it just looked like Jamie had sided with the rebels and chose to assassinate the king.
