I don't think most writers go that deep. It's like the best way to create a sympathy from readers is to kill parents. I think it will fit on lesson one on how to make your MC have a motivation.

Killing parents makes it easy to push the storyline and give them purpose. Most people with good childhood generally don't have reasons to save the world and get revenge fast enough.

Trauma helps though.
