It's clunky writing that puts the emphasis on the wrong part. It's six statements focusing on being sterilized, and only one about the monstrous act - killing. And Natasha's feelings on that are left to be inferred, she needed to explain for the viewers benefit how sterilization affected her beliefs and made her do monstrous things. The dialogue went from A to C without hitting B.

And also, it's kind of weird to not go in depth with it because her past as an assassin is part of her arc in The Avengers with the whole red in my ledger thing. She frames her past as a moral debt she's working to pay off and readily admits it. Angst over her past doesn't really need to be connected to her sterility at all. And IIRC, it comes up because Bruce is using his sterility as a reason not to be in a relationship with him, to which the reply really ought to be: "I also can't have children, so that isn't going to be a big problem."

Agreed that it seems unnecessary. They already established that she feels guilty about and is trying to atone for her past and so therefore might reasonably feel like a monster. Why add this on top of it?
