I mean, Eobard changed the timeline much further than Barry or Hunter did. Heck, in comparison, I'd say they were hunted because they did it for small and personal reasons ("i wanna go faster" "i wanna my time remnants to help me"), while he ended up massively changing history without the use of Speed Force itself.

Unless, of course, the appearance of Speed Wraiths is more akin to how "close" you are to them, rather than motives and opportunities, so Eobard's more skilled at evading Wraiths than doing anything that.
