I wouldn't say it was just her causing problems. The end message there was about communication, and the thing was Fluttershy also wasn't saying how she truly felt out of concern for Rarity. So there's still two of them at fault here, it wasn't entirely Rarity causing the issue.

Rarity's flaws were contributing here, but she was also being pressured by the Canterlot elites. This one also ties into my other point - while Rarity's flaw may at least be partially in play, it ultimately doesn't effect her. Rarity's lying doesn't effect her standing with her friends, and Rarity having to come clean at the end is undercut by Fancy Pants bailing her out, so she still gets the approval from the elites she wanted in the first place. Her flaws don't actually screw her over, she still got everything she wanted. Moreover, this is one of the Rarity episodes most likely to be considered bad by people, which is what lead me to these conclusions.
Even so, you did still agree with me on 3/7, and only partially disagreed on 2. That's pretty close to a majority, and my greater point is about how disproportionate it is compared to the others. Compare that list to Rainbow Dash, Applejack, or even a lot of Twilight episodes, where the conflict is directly caused by their flaws and they're the one who needs to learn a lesson. Even in overlap episodes, like LBYS where it's both AJ and Rarity, the narrative ultimately places more culpability on Applejack than Rarity, with Applejack being both the first, and ultimately only character to apologize for her actions and try to extend an olive branch, making it seem much more like Applejack learning to tolerate Rarity than both of them learning to tolerate each other. I think even most Anons if asked whether one character was more responsible for the fighting, you'll find most of them are much more likely put more blame on Applejack for the conflict than they do on Rarity.
But going back to Dash, the only season 1 Dash episode I can think of where the conflict is caused by someone else is Sonic Rainboom, and that's it. Much more of er episodes are about her flaws causing problems than Rarity's, and I think that's why their so disliked. Sonic Rainboom is again, one of the only where it isn't Dash causing the problem, and it's also one of the top contenders for best Dash episode for most people, along with Wonderbolt Academy, which also falls into the paradigm. I don't think that's a coincidence.
