From what I've seen, it's usually either cited as part of the reason she has no tolerance for tracking of any kind and/or to contrast her tragic beginnings with the progress she's made now. Personally, I'm not sure it was a good story to tell in the first place, but I think that once it was set that subsequent writers have done pretty well with using the backstory respectfully and in a way that's worth it if the story calls for it.
