Even if it can't be explained away like that, it's also nice to see in retrospect, because it means Rarity really did go through a lot of character development. Forgot what show writer said this, but I remember hearing someone say one time that Rarity's personality would more likely be used for a villain in less forward-thinking shows. They would take her love of fashion and high society and near-obsession with looking perfect as selfish traits, and build her up differently. This show started out with her exhibiting certain selfish traits at times, and she grew out of all of them. She's nowhere near my favorite character but I do appreciate what was done with her.
