The imprinting thing is just plain creepy, and it just comes off as a contrived excuse to kill the love conflict between Bella, Jacob and Edward (Meyer copping out, imagine that...), but that's only part of the problem.

If you think of Bella as a self-insert for Meyer, it makes sense that Bella gets everything with no conflict or sacrifice; even RPattz has said that it's just a big wish fulfilment fantasy of Meyer's. And it's not a bad thing that Leah doesn't pair up with someone in the end; it shows she doesn't need a man to validate her, and pairing everyone up for your happy ending is something some Mary Sue fanfic author would do.
