It isn't neutral like a gun that has no mind of its own. It has a personality  and not a nice one, according to ToBtB. Why should Harry have to struggle with that? Can he really do as much good with such a wand as with the one that chose him freely?

Carol responds:

For the benefit of those (like me) who haven't bought or read "The Tales of Beedle the Bard," could you quote what it says for us? Aren't the annotations supposed to be Dumbledore's?

Carol, who supposes that ToBtB, like FBaWtFT and QTtA, can be considered semicanonical, more so than the interviews, anyway!
