Because whether or not it happened would determine whether or not she's a Fullbringer. Please read the article on Fullbringers so you can see why they have their powers.

Orihime is similar when you realize her powers seemed to be stronger after her time in Hueco Mundo (it could hold back Ulquiorra's pre-resurreccion attack during Ichigo's fight with him and even brought someone that looked dead back to life, both things seemed impossible before her time in Hueco Mundo),

Her powers seemed stronger because they are tied to her feelings. That's why Tsubaki's attack is so weak; she has absolutely no intention of harming people. If anything, she seemed stronger because of her training with Rukia.

GreatestSin wrote: The problem with saying her mother wasn't attacked by a hollow is twofold: 1. Ginjo was both untrustworthy and not in his right mind thanks to Tsukishima so you can't read into that Orihime wasn't invited to Xcution (her power may have been able to remove Tsukishima's which would explain both why she was kept out of it and why she was the first target Tsukishima went after, so her power couldn't be used against him), 2. Chad's parents were never canonically said to have been attacked by hollows either yet Ginjo's words alone confirmed him as one, even though Chad didn't even know his parents may have been attacked so Ginjo couldn't have known. It's very possible Orihime might not be a fullbringer but she fits the criteria about as well as Chad except for having Ginjo confirm her as one (and to be honest, I don't think many would have thought Chad's power was fullbring until Ginjo said it was, so it's fair to predict Orihime is one too)

1. Regardleas of how much he could or could not have been trusted, there's literally no reason as to why he would lie about how Fullbringers get their powers. It offers him no type of advantage. It's harmless information. If Kubo had Ginjo blatantly lie like that, then quite a bit of info on the Fullbringer page can't be trusted as most of the info came from him. If he was in fact lying, then we as fans have incorrect information about something in the series and Kubo is intentionally doing nothing about it as no other character came along and corrected him.

2. Well, if Ginjo says all Fullbringers had a mother that was attacked by a Hollow and Chad is stated to be a Fullbringer, Chad doesn't really need to give us some sort of sob story. Of course Ginjo doesn't know the details regarding the attack, he doesn't need to. If he is able can identify Chad as a Fullbringer, he can reason that his mother must have been atacked by a Hollow.
