Ace people? Yes. Pedophiles? No. It’s that simple.
Is it because society decided that they need to be treated with disgust because of something they don't have control over, something they were born with, who they are?
I don't think it was society, but more so a bias in media to portray paedophiles with co-morbid psychopathy as THE paedophile. In reality most satisfy themselves with cartoons, fanfics, etc. and only rarely is there also co-morbidity enabling them to harm children. Certainly not an expert though, and mainly citing my first year psych professor.
