it wasnt but that time spent allowed us to get to know her ,
how she came to meet oden ,
also included a flashback with the samurais that helped her get through a short stint in prison. The way I see it, we get to see just enough of the character to fall in love with them before they join.

But again contextually, a lot of her story was kept restricted to the arc specific cast and not the SH's, it really never felt personal and something which the the crew empathized over which I think has been a constant with every past member and especially Luffy.
Luffy looked pretty apathetic all the while she was sharing her plight and any interaction with the others was non-existent. It was only Momo (a Wano specific character) who seemed to care about her setting sail outside the country
