I don't see what's so amazing about Layla either. If the time of her death was so important, Mashima would have explained this when dragons reappeared. He didn't, so I wouldn't consider it to be so important to the plot. Besides, Lucy has had plenty of occasions to shine with her backstory and importance (Phantom Lord arc, GMG arc, two filler arc dedicated only to Celestial Spirits, Tartaros arc and probably some more), we already know a lot about her family, the way she was brought up, how she got her keys - it's high time other characters got a chance to shine.
