Well, I thought the guys who've had their movies have had their moments of terror and vulnerability in those, while this movie was Natasha's vehicle. Thor and Cap are kind of importantly built up on being physically above the rest of their weight class, so they got the moments of emotional vulnerability. Tony, the only "mortal" to get a movie, famously spent most of his first movie physically overwhelmed, terrified and vulnerable in every which way, and ditto to a lesser extent in IM2.

Natasha almost *needed* to be shown as vulnerable if there was any hope of her being more than a Strong Female Character TM, being someone that the audience could actually care about on more levels than just the 'kickass' part. And it established a great moment about her thoughts on Bruce - she kinda likes the big guy and honestly does not want to hurt him, but since she'd been wary of the Hulk all along and circumspect about related things (the lying about being alone in Calcutta, the lying about there being no cage), the scene shows that she was ( ... )
