If you think all Zamasu forms are basically the same guy and personality, you clearly don't know anything about the character.
Present Zamasu appeared patient and gentle at first. The Babarians and Goku's insolence where the last straw that confirmed the theory he had cultivated throughout the years spent observing multiple planets: mortals do not learn from their mistakes. This Zamasu was very careless and bold, as he attacked Goku despite the fact a God of Destruction was literally by his side.
Future Zamasu is someone who never met Goku, as such he never felt very angry towards him. Sure, he wanted him dead, but not because he had lost to him in the past (like the other versions of Zamasu), but because he is just a mere mortal. This Zamasu revels in his own immortality, to the point he gave up his training and wasted the fact he was a prodigy from birth. This version of Zamasu only wants to enjoy his immortality, because he know that, whatever his enemies invent, he will always survive. He was very lucky Trunks failed to self-destruct himself, and bring down Future Zamasu along with himself.
Black Goku is far different from the other Zamasus. He is not careless. He is a strategist. He knows his limits and knows when it's time to retreat. The whole point of his character is that Zamasu, ironically, became one with a mortal. His personality as a Supreme Kai was tainted by the Sayans' desire to grow stronger after each fight. Unlike Future Zamasu, Black didn't care about immortality, as long as he could become the strongest.
Then we have Merged Zamasu. At his peak of power, Merged Zamasu revelled in his power and immortality. He easily crushed his enemies. But he was blinded by his arrogance. He won. He effortlessly defeated all who would stand in his way. He was destroying the very surface of Earth. So sure of his victory, it seemed as if Merged Zamasu held back during the beam struggles against Vegeta, Trunks and Goku, sure of his victory. Once Merged Zamasu lost against Goku, the last fraction of sanity he had left was gone. Zamasu realized he had a weakness. He was a flawed deity, imperfect. You could feel in his voice (when he yelled "SON GOKUYEEAH") that he truly fell to madness, losing even the grace and patience he had the Episode before.As time went on, Zamasu became more and more mad and paranoid, until he was no more but a mindless beast, like the Babarians he had witnessed a long time ago. Finally, when he had lost his physical body to a mere mortal, Zamasu completely abbandoned himself to madness, and when he became the Universe, he was no better than Buu.
Present Zamasu is careless and impatient. He basically suicided, by attacking both Beerus and Goku all on his own. He was too blinded by his arrogance. Present Zamasu was informed that his future self had succeeded in his plans, so Zamasu thought he was destined to win, no matter what, and so he blindly charged at both Goku and Beerus. Sadly, that didn't go well. Future Zamasu mostly relies on his immortality to survive fights. He is physically weak, as he willingly gave up training, using immortality as a shield against his enemies. Future Zamasu just wants to relax in his immortality, hence he is so happy to tank very powerful attacks. Black is the smartest out of all forms of Zamasu, he is wise and knows when it's time to get serious and stop playing around. He also became one with a Sayan, as such he displayed the desire to grow stronger and meet more powerful opponents, to test his skills. Merged Zamasu, before he became no more than an animal, is the epitome of the character, the fusion of all these different personalities. He enjoys his immortality (like Future Zamasu), he is very brash and short-sighted (like Present Zamasu) as he defied Zeno himself, but he also retains Black's wisdom and will to grow stronger after each fight, as he hurt himself (with the Light of Justice) just to have a chance at ending his enemies once and for all. Also, Merged Zamasu retained Black's sadism, because he hurt himself to grow stronger.
The only thing these different versions of Zamasu have in common is their shared hatred for mortals. They all have unique traits and different personalities, as well as different ways to achieve their plans. Black switched body with Goku, while Present Zamasu didn't want Goku's body, he wanted a copy of Goku to use as his minion.
