Yeah, I think that my frustration with the writers not only has to do with the backseat role that she repeatedly took, but the way that after a while and of course in the end they pretty much just used her as a prop instead of a character. Anything we learned about her didn't really mean anything and never mattered. And that? Is frustrating.

Regarding the show's horrible inconsistency though, and this has more to do with the mythology, I'm also infuriated by their never addressing the importance of her role in raising Aaron and Aaron's so-called specialness.

Well they did adress Aaron's specialness per interview:

Lindelof: What are the polar bears, or, "What's the story with Aaron?" And we go, okay, the story with Aaron is that a psychic told Claire that he was special, but then subsequently, in an Eko episode, we revealed that the psychic was a fraud. So people are like, "Why is Aaron special?" and we're like, "But, that wasn't true. That guy was a liar." "Well, why did The Others abduct him?" Well, the Others revealed that they abducted him because he was a baby born on the island, and they wanted to see if there was anything they could glean scientifically to solve their fertility issues ( ... )
