I haven't read the novels and manga yet, but from what I've heard she's more reasonable in them; still a tsundere, but nicer than the anime version of her.
To try to fathom why the anime staff did that to her character, I tried looking at the series as a pandering to the audience, since many LNs are such. If OreImo is just an alternate universe in which the otaku audience can play cool, then it makes sense why they would treat her the way they did.
