It digs at whether or not it's counter to her 'duty' to the Resistance to pursue this interest she has in him, which digs into whether she has a duty to the Resistance at all when there's no way of knowing they'll build something better than the First Order when the New Republic gave rise to the First Order in the first place. It's a rabbit hole.
An unproductive rabbit hole. She pushes it aside to deal with the issue in front of her. She's not good at horizon. And the issue in front of her is Kylo taking potshots at her Jedi aspirations. So what comes out first is biting. ]

You're asking them to be symbols instead of people, to deny themselves love. What's the point of a peace that doesn't allow people to live full lives?
[ Another can of worms. Isn't that what she had asked of Luke? To come back and be a symbol? Wasn't it what she wanted from Ben? Was that fair? But those were things that would help them get love. It seems less ... cold, somehow. But it's certainly a muddy pool of hypocrisy. ]
