The "Samus is a bounty hunter" part of the lore is because Nintendo didn't know what a bounty hunter was when they made her. There's an interview with Bryan Walker of Retro Studios that explains this.
The short version is Nintendo thought "Bounty Hunter" meant "Noble Space Adventurer."
That makes sense to me. Shame, really. A free roam quest about collecting bounties as Samus sounds like a damn cool game. Especially after all the world building they've made over the years. Even if a lot of it is kind of batshit insane.

It does. :)
Looks like the writer of that article is a troon.
What a shock. Troons have been trying to claim Samus for years.
